Blue Stripes produces consumer products using a whole-cacao approach that utilizes roughly 70% of the cacao fruit typically discarded in traditional chocolate making. Its product line includes Cacao Water, Whole Cacao Chocolate Bars, Whole Cacao Granola, Whole Cacao Trail Mix, Chocolate Covered Cacao Beans, and Dried Cacao Fruit. The company sells nationally through its website and retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Fresh Market, Sprouts, Amazon, and select premium grocers. Blue Stripes says its ingredient and production approach creates a more ecologically and economically sustainable cocoa supply chain by increasing the value of the cacao fruit and farmer incomes. The company was founded in 2018 by Oded Brenner and Aviv Schwietzer and is based in New York City. Blue Stripes recently named Nick DiGiovanni as a Brand Ambassador to help raise consumer awareness of the cacao fruit and its benefits.
