Designed exclusively for Sawade by the renowned illustrator Clare Owen, the boxes mirror the brand’s role as a bridge between the past and the future by blending classic motifs with modern elements. Inside, the collection offers an ode to tradition through a variety of delicious Easter eggs and the finest Sawade chocolates, while capturing the zeitgeist through popular classics like Knack- and Desserteier. In Berlin, chocolate is a prominent part of the city’s story; with Sawade, chocolate constitutes a story of its own, blending heritage with modern aesthetics and timeless flavors rooted in century-old, traditional recipes.

GOODMOODFOOD

With its high dedication to natural superfoods that bring together health, enjoyment, and conscious sourcing, the Berlin-based goodmoodfood centers its motto on a simple idea: food, as much as it nourishes the body, should also support the mind and please the palate. Operating through this mindset, high-quality products from fair trade and sustainable agriculture offer a wide variety of pure, intense chocolate made of 100% cacao. Expanding over many versions of chocolate, from cacao beans to nibs, butter, powder, and cacao paste, the brand also offers unique drinking chocolate creations that go beyond a classic cup of cocoa.

Take Vital Mushroom Cacao as an example, where cacao and carefully selected functional mushrooms meet. Seasonally curated for the Easter season, goodmoodfood offers a few highlights: “Angry Gorilla”, a cacao snack supporting fairness in the chocolate industry, is the tastiest ethical statement. “The Wholy Bean!”, the first histamine-free chocolate made from raw dried cacao beans, is an innovative take on the world of chocolate. While “Cashew Clusters” is a perfect combination of cashews, cacao, and coconut sugar, Queen Beans is a definite recommendation, being the team’s favorite snack. What is really left to say? At goodmoodfood; a creative, ethical, and innovative touch to our favorite flavors exist altogether.
