Mellow ❤ Nordea

After careful research, we choose Mellow as our new chocolate supplier, offering delicious chocolate aligned with our sustainability values. The chocolate is made in Copenhagen with responsibly sourced cocoa beans, respecting human rights, forest preservation, and biodiversity.

This is Jacob

He aims to make the world a better place, one chocolate bar at the time. Together with Jacob we set the standards higher for chocolate.

Jacob founded Mellow with a goal of producing chocolate of the cleanest and finest quality, from just two ingredients: Thoughtfully cultivated cacao beans and natural unrefined sugar.

Follow further to learn more about Jacobs' story and why Nordea chose Mellow as producer of chocolate.

Returned home from a trip to Panama with a suitcase full of cacao beans, Jacob started in his kitchen with 1kg of cacao beans and a coffee roaster. The first experiments were done in the wooden attic of his own apartment. Now, later, in the production in Copenhagen, Mellow work intensively on creating the best possible bean-to-bar chocolate production.

With Mellow's own words

At Mellow, we believe in honest chocolate. We're committed to ethical sourcing and a transparent supply chain. Learn more about our efforts to raise the bar on chocolate.

Responsible farming

We purchase our cacao from farms that practice agroforestry, which involves the cultivation of cacao trees among other plants and crops. This method supports agroecological restoration, rebuilding soil fertility while boosting agroecosystem functions. This approach produces nutrient-rich, premium-quality cocoa while fighting cocoa extinction.

Direct trade, fair pay

We work directly with farmers who share our values, fostering trust and improving both livelihoods and cocoa quality.

We set clear agreements on pricing, quality, and ethics to ensure fairness. Our pricing reflects real production costs, ensuring farmers are paid fairly for their work.

Ethical and slavery-free

Our farmers work in ethical conditions, free from child labor or slavery, and are paid fairly for their work. We believe that everyone in our supply chain deserves respect, safe working conditions, and a fair wage. By fostering these standards, we help build a sustainable cocoa industry where farmers and their communities can thrive.

Traceable & organic

We work with single-origin cocoa beans from some of the best farmers and social cooperatives in the world. We source our organic cocoa beans directly from cooperatives, ensuring our chocolate is traceable and that we know where our ingredients come from.

We process our chocolate gently to preserve more antioxidants and nutrients. Every bar we produce is organic, free from emulsifiers, naturally gluten-free and soy-free, and entirely plant-based.
