> Founded by Sara Khoudary, a certified professional chocolatier who transformed her childhood dream into reality during the pandemic, NOCO Chocolates is a women-owned enterprise nestled in Colorado's Rocky Mountain landscape. Khoudary enrolled in a Professional Chocolatier program and built the company as 'a beacon of pure indulgence' with emphasis on community connection. NOCO offers all-natural, handcrafted chocolates and caramels using traditional methods with ingredients sourced directly from small-scale cocoa farmers committed to fair trade practices and organic farming. The company provides soy-free, corn-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly options, ensuring accessibility across dietary preferences. Khoudary emphasizes their ingredient philosophy: 'Every bite is free from artificial additives, ensuring you enjoy the true essence of cacao and natural sweetness.' The company's mission extends beyond sales: 'We're not just selling chocolates; we're creating experiences.' As a women-owned business, NOCO aims to 'inspire and empower women entrepreneurs by creating a ripple effect of strength and sustainability.' Products are available during Spring through early Fall months at seasonal farmers markets across Northern Colorado, with free pick-up options at designated market locations.
