Óbolo Chocolate is the first bean-to-bar chocolate maker in Chile, founded with the vision of combining quality, sustainability, and local identity. Its founder, Mark Gerrits, who in 2015 decided to fully dedicate himself to chocolate, created a brand that uses carefully selected cocoa beans from Amazonian regions, processed and crafted in Chile.
The assortment includes single-origin chocolate bars, drinking chocolate, ceremonial cacao, pralines, and gift boxes, all produced in vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free varieties. A strong emphasis is placed on sustainability, with compostable packaging and an ethical approach to sourcing.
Their chocolate workshop and boutique is located in the artistic district of Barrio Italia in Santiago, where visitors can experience chocolate as an authentic journey. Óbolo is a brand recognized for its strong character and distinctive terroir, awarded at international competitions and valued for its transparency and social responsibility.
