Born in Goa. Crafted from the bean. Made with passion.
Sukris Chocolate began with a simple belief: Great chocolate doesn't need to be complicated, it needs to be made with care. What started as a curiosity about chocolate slowly became a journey into cocoa, craftsmanship and the art of making chocolate from scratch. We wanted to understand what makes chocolate truly special, not just the finished bar, but everything that happens before it reaches your hands. And so, Sukris Chocolate was born in Goa. For us, Goa is more than just where our chocolate is made. It is part of who we are. Goa has always had a strong culture of food, hospitality, creativity and craftsmanship. We wanted to create something that reflected that spirit, something local, thoughtful and proudly made here. From Cocoa Bean to Chocolate Bar At Sukris, we believe that making chocolate starts long before the chocolate bar. Our cocoa beans are sourced from South India, working with carefully selected cocoa that allows us to explore the natural character and flavour of Indian cacao. Once the beans arrive in Goa, the process begins. We roast the beans carefully to develop their aroma and flavour. After roasting, they are cracked and winnowed to separate the cocoa nibs from the shells. These nibs are then stone-ground slowly, allowing the ingredients to gradually transform into chocolate. Our dark chocolate is made using a simple combination of cocoa, cocoa butter and raw cane sugar. We don't believe in hiding the character of cocoa behind a long list of ingredients. Instead, we focus on bringing out what is already there. Our stone grinding process can take around 72 hours, giving the chocolate time to develop its texture and character. The chocolate is then tempered and moulded in small batches before being carefully packed. It is a slow process. But we believe some things are worth doing slowly. Why We Make Chocolate There are plenty of chocolate bars in the world. We didn't start Sukris to simply make another one. We started because we wanted to create chocolate that had a sense of place. Something that could be made in Goa, using Indian cocoa, while still meeting the expectations of people who appreciate fine craft chocolate. We wanted our chocolate to be something a local customer could enjoy, something a visitor could take home from Goa, and something a chef or baker could confidently use in their kitchen. Most importantly, we wanted to build something that we could be proud of. That means paying attention to the small things, the cocoa we select, the roast, the grind, the balance of sweetness, the texture, the tempering and even the way each bar is presented. Simple Ingredients. Thoughtful Craft. Our philosophy is simple: start with good ingredients and treat them with respect. Our 70% dark chocolate is a reflection of that philosophy. With a high cocoa content and raw cane sugar, it allows the natural character of the cocoa to remain at the centre. From there, we love to experiment. Sea salt brings out the depth of dark chocolate. Chilli adds a gentle warmth and a lingering finish. Coffee introduces another layer of roast and aroma. Nuts, berries and coconut bring different textures and flavour combinations. Some ideas are classic. Some are unexpected. But every creation starts with the same question: How can we make the chocolate experience better? Made for People Who Love Chocolate Sukris is not only about making chocolate. It is about creating experiences around it. We love seeing our chocolate enjoyed in different ways, a piece of dark chocolate with a cup of coffee, a bar shared with friends, a bonbon opened as a small indulgence, or our chocolate being used by a baker or chef to create something completely new. This is why we are building Sukris for both chocolate lovers and professionals. We work towards creating chocolate that can be enjoyed on its own but can also become an ingredient in a larger creation. Because chocolate has no single way of being enjoyed. Our Goa Connection Goa has always attracted people looking for something different. People come here for the beaches, the food, the culture, the relaxed way of life and the experiences that stay with them long after they leave. We wanted Sukris to become part of that story. Our goal is to create chocolate that people can discover in Goa and take a little piece of the experience home with them. Crafted in Goa is more than a location on our packaging. It represents our intention to build something here, something rooted in Goa while connected to the wider world of craft chocolate. We are proud to be creating Indian chocolate in Goa, and we hope that every bar carries a little of that spirit. A Journey, Not a Finished Story Sukris Chocolate is still growing. We are constantly learning, testing and improving. Every batch teaches us something new. Sometimes a recipe works exactly as we imagined. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes an unexpected combination becomes something we never planned. That is part of the fun. We believe craft is not about achieving perfection overnight. It is about caring enough to keep improving. As we grow, our ambition is to explore more Indian cocoa, develop new chocolate creations, work with more chefs, bakers, cafés and hotels, and introduce more people to the possibilities of Indian craft chocolate. We want Sukris to remain connected to its roots while continuing to evolve. Our Vision Our long-term vision is simple: To create exceptional chocolate in Goa, using Indian cocoa, and build a chocolate brand that people are proud to discover, enjoy and share. We want to show that Indian cocoa can create beautiful chocolate. We want to show that craft chocolate can come from Goa. And we want every Sukris bar to tell that story, from the cocoa bean to the finished chocolate. For us, this is not just about making a product. It is about learning a craft, building something from the ground up, supporting the idea of Indian cocoa, and sharing our passion with everyone who takes a bite. The journey has only just begun. Sukris Chocolate. Crafted in Goa. Made from Indian cocoa. Created with passion.
