Pico Hazelnut M*lk Chocolate is the result of hard work, patience and dedication to the art of chocolate-making. There Swiss master chocolatiers source Forastero cacao from the Dominican Republic and blend it with the gentle nuttiness of hazelnut pieces to create an easy eating masterpiece.
At Pico they live and breathe the art of chocolate. It’s the blending of craft and ingredients with skill and balance, imagination and know-how.
Always authentic, like fine art should be, Pico is the bringing together of art and incredible chocolate like you’ve never tasted before – vegan, certified organic and ethically sourced.
Pico does not contain any animal products and is proud to be all Vegan and Organic.

WHAT DOES FAIRTRADE MEAN?
Pico is Fairtrade certified, which means the South and Central American farms where our cocoa is sourced are sustainable, free from child labour and the farmers are empowered in making decisions to improve their livelihood.

WHERE IS PICO MADE?
Pico has traversed the globe searching for the highest quality raw, organic, materials that are ethically sourced and Fairtrade. It all begins in South and Central America, where we work in partnership with traditional farming communities, using centuries- old growing and picking techniques to produce the finest quality cacao beans. Pico is then hand-crafted by master chocolatiers in Switzerland, who source flavours from Europe to create our delicious variants, including salt flowers from Guerande, France, which are scattered through Pico Sea Salt chocolate.
