We created single bean virgin chocolate, which as we’ve been told by kitchen chefs and sommeliers from Europe to the Gulf is “the most pure chocolate in the world”.

Experts recommend our chocolate because of two key reasons: we work with about 450 families on 2 sustainable plantations in Ecuador to grow and love authentic genetic Arriba Nacionale cacao trees (very rare trees!) and then carefully pluck them to be sun-dried and cold-ground for molecular integrity. This means, that with very low heat and a pure organic species, the aroma and taste of the cacao is maintained by a very long and loved handwork.

This chocolate which we offer exclusively to star chefs and sommeliers is our proof-point for better standards of manufacturing in nutrition where we actively lobby and influence diplomatics and ‘Quality of Life’ measures from the Arabic peninsula to South America. We proudly offer vintage and terroir based chocolate for cooking, gifting, and body care.

Our BLYSS is the result of almost 100 years of plantation and pattissier expertise from Papua New Guinea, Australia, to Germany and Ecuador in it’s modern inversion by grand-daughter of the Ilolo Estate, me - Alyssa Jade McDonald, who named the present company after my nickname, ‘lyss’ and the meaning of spiritual ‘bliss’, as my personal commitment to a better world for the next generation to follow in the family footsteps.
