Collection: Gifts & packages

In a world where mass production seems to be the norm, we distinguish ourselves by adhering to a timeless tradition: making delicious chocolate by hand. Every piece of chocolate that leaves our kitchen tells a story of dedication, craftsmanship, and the unparalleled quality that makes us the best chocolatier in the Netherlands.

At De Bonte Koe we believe that chocolate is more than a treat; it is a gesture of love, a symbol of appreciation and a way to celebrate moments. And this is exactly what makes chocolate the perfect gift to give. And that is exactly why our gifts and packages are carefully hand-crafted to not only surprise the taste buds, but also to leave a lasting impression.

We stand for chocolate made with love and care, where every ingredient is carefully chosen to ensure both the quality of the product and the well-being of our planet. Our commitment to sustainability means that we not only select the best cocoa, but also work with partners who share our values.

All this comes together in our mission: to make the tastiest, fair and handmade chocolate in the Netherlands. And that with the most positive impact possible on people, animals and the environment. With this we want to be an example for other artisanal family businesses.

Whether you are looking for a unique gift for a special occasion, want to send a thank you, or simply want to surprise someone with a sweet treat, at De Bonte Koe you will find the perfect gift that speaks from the heart (and the stomach!). Discover the magic of our handmade chocolate and why so many people choose De Bonte Koe when only the best gift will do.

The best gifts for people and the planet

De Bonte Koe is unique not only because of our artisanal approach to chocolate making, but also because of our deep-rooted commitment to sustainability. Every aspect of our chocolate production, from bean to packaging, reflects our commitment to the environment and social responsibility.

Our cocoa beans taste good and are good for the world

For our unparalleled chocolate, we only use certified organic cocoa beans, sourced directly from the Dominican Republic. Our partnership with the Grupo Conacado Cooperative is central to our purchasing policy.

This partnership ensures that we not only contribute to improving the living conditions of cocoa farmers, but also that these beans are grown sustainably. The farmers receive a fair price for their work, which directly benefits both them and their communities.

We reduce our ecological footprint

At De Bonte Koe we take the impact of packaging on the environment seriously. That is why we consciously choose to minimize plastic use. Our packaging, largely made from recycled cardboard and paper, is not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly.

We make sure that each package is made from just one type of material, which makes recycling easy after use. This way, we ensure that our chocolate gifts give the earth as much love as the people who receive them.

Sunny energy and chocolate that makes everyone happy

The production of our chocolate in Schiedam is a model of sustainable energy. With 73 solar panels on our roof, we generate up to 29,000 Watts on sunny days, which powers our entire production process.

This commitment to renewable energy underscores our dedication to reducing our environmental footprint and ensuring a sustainable future.
