LoveRaw®
THE VEGAN Chocolate Brand
“So we had this crazy idea: Make legendary vegan chocolate that tastes like chocolate chocolate!!”
LoveRaw® is an innovative, vegan confectionary brand disrupting the category, on a mission to create legendary vegan chocolate that tastes like chocolate chocolate; using superior ingredients and without compromising on taste. All this whilst doing good socially for their suppliers and partners.
Now one of the UK’s fastest growing vegan snacking brands, growing at +55% YOY* LoveRaw® was originally co-founded in 2013 by Rimi and Manav Thapar, with the aim of proving that not all vegan food is made equal.
"I started out in 2013 with £600, a food processor and went on a trip to London. This involved hustling past two receptionists and hand delivering samples to a buyer without a meeting. I had a nervous sweat on like you wouldn't believe…..thankfully he liked them."
More and more people are switching to plant-based diets and looking for products that fit the lifestyle but don’t sacrifice on flavour. Recent stats show that there’s been a +62% increase in vegan consumers in the UK** and over 56% of the British public are choosing plant-based options over traditional meat and dairy products^. With the global plant-based meal market forecast to grow by 28% a year~ the vegan movement is here to stay.
"... it’s been a hell of a journey: We’ve rejected offers on Dragons Den, sold millions of LoveRaw products and had two mini’s along the way called Marni & Rui. The crazy idea is now our reality and has come a long way since our tiny kitchen. If you're wondering what we look like, that's Manav and I on the packaging and yes we are wearing a two person jumper."
Currently offering three epic ranges; their iconic chocolate Butter Cups, the award winning M:lk® Choc Bars and the legendary Cre&m® Wafer bar; LoveRaw’s indulgent chocolate snacks taste great - not only for vegans, but for unvegan vegans too.
"Our mission now is to continue making legendary kick ass vegan chocolate whilst maintaining our honest, transparent and no artificial nonsense roots. Remove the stigma and prove that vegan chocolate can be decadently indulgent which smash your taste buds. You can be extremely vegan or sometimes vegan: Or what we like to call an “unvegan” vegan. Curious? Just try it, we think you’ll love it!"
