Gnosis Chocolate celebrates every day as Earth Day

In celebration of Earth Day and the Easter holiday, I stumbled upon a fantastic company specializing in something most people can’t live without...chocolate! Celebrating every day as Earth Day, Gnosis Chocolate is truly some of the best chocolate I have ever tasted and it is made right here in New York City. Gnosis is a Greek word meaning knowledge of the heart, experiential knowledge of truth. As heavy of an explanation that is, the handmade products and people at Gnosis Chocolates, are nothing short of extraordinary.

Vanessa Barg describes the beginnings of Gnosis as a happy stroke of fate and hard work. As a trained and certified holistic health counselor, Vanessa focus is aimed to help her clients and customers learn and change their eating habits to the healthiest foods available, shifting the market place to a greener way of life. She started making delicious raw (Not heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit), vegan chocolate for her clients with special dietary issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and even so simple as trying to reduce sugar intake. Her clients told their friends and soon Vanessa was over run with requests for this amazing handmade, raw chocolate. Gnosis Chocolates has expanded in the last two years to eight full time employees and is sold in over 200 stores internationally, including Whole Foods.

After speaking to this eco-friendly entrepreneur, Gnosis Chocolates not only puts out a great product but also is a pioneer company in healthy eating, sustainable farming, earth-focused practices, and giving back to the community. Integrity in the marketplace is one of their many winning assets as well as sustainable manufacturing. As the president of Gnosis, Vanessa visits the farms around the world, where Gnosis' raw materials come from, building true partnerships with the agave and cacao farmers. Vanessa the Chocolate Girl has created projects to express to the public the importance of sustainable agriculture including Raw Integrity, The Agave Report, Palm Nectar, Cacao Trees, Eco-Sustainability, supporting the ASPCA, and Social Responsibility.

With no formal training in business Team Gnosis is pioneering numerous markets with very basic principles, produce the healthiest product possible, put people and the planet first. Gnosis donates 10% of the profits to the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation as well is a self-proclaimed grassroots company growing by word of mouth.
