Your Top Questions Answered: Saluva® and the Dark Chocolate benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Saluva achieve its sweetness without refined sugar?

At Saluva, our philosophy is "Indulgence you can feel gud about." which guides our approach to sweetness. We exclusively use Monk Fruit Extract, a remarkable sweetener derived naturally from the fruit itself.

Unlike sugar, the sweetness from monk fruit comes from unique antioxidants called mogrosides, which contain zero calories and have no effect on blood sugar levels. This allows us to create an exquisitely rich chocolate that is genuinely free from added sugars.

Furthermore, we enrich our chocolate with natural prebiotic fibre. This not only contributes to a smooth, luxurious texture but also supports digestive wellness and promotes stable energy, making for a truly guilt-free indulgence.

Should I be concerned about heavy metals in Saluva chocolate?

Are Saluva products vegan and dairy-free?

Why are Crimson and Grove dark chocolates variants priced at a premium?

We understand the question, and the answer lies in our unwavering commitment to quality, ethics, and an unparalleled sensory experience. The premium nature of Saluva chocolate is a direct reflection of several core principles:

• The Quality of Our Ingredients: Our chocolate is defined by a higher percentage of true cocoa mass and cocoa butter, the most valuable components of the cocoa bean. We completely avoid cheaper fillers, vegetable fats, and refined sugars, focusing only on pure, high-impact ingredients.

• Our Direct & Ethical Sourcing: We source our cocoa beans solely from dedicated farmers in Kerala and Karnataka. This direct-trade relationship ensures our farmers receive fair compensation for their expertise and the exceptional quality of their harvest. This commitment to ethical standards and avoiding contamination from mass supply chains means we pay a premium for a superior and purer bean.

• The Art of Cultivation: Crafting exceptional chocolate is a patient art. A cocoa tree requires 3-5 years of careful cultivation before it produces its first harvest. We honor this long process and the generational expertise of our cultivators by ensuring their efforts are properly valued.

The price of a Saluva bar is an investment in this entire ecosystem of purity, ethical partnership, and masterful craftsmanship.

We take the purity and safety of our ingredients with the utmost seriousness. The presence of heavy metals in cocoa is often linked to the soil and general environment where the beans are grown. This is precisely why we are exceptionally selective about our sourcing.

We procure our cocoa beans directly from a select group of cultivators in the pristine, biodiverse regions of the Western Ghats in Kerala and Karnataka. These areas are naturally shielded from the industrial pollutants that can be a concern in other parts of the world. Our direct-from-farm model ensures complete traceability and allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality and purity, from the soil to the final bar.

Currently, our products are not classified as vegan or dairy-free. To achieve the signature creamy texture and rich flavour profile of our artisan chocolates, our recipes include milk-derived ingredients such as Skimmed Milk Powder or Whole Milk Powder.
