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.
