Pico Sea Salt Chocolate is the result of hard work, patience and dedication to the art of chocolate-making. There Swiss master chocolatiers source cacao from Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Peru to create there decadent, rich and velvety chocolate base. They then travel to Guérande, France, for their world-famous, ultra-fine fleur del sel (salt flowers) and gently scatter them through there smooth dark chocolate to enhance the natural nuance of the chocolate’s flavour profile.
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.

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.
