Chocolate for every day everyone every occasion
At The Cocoa Project, we believe in spreading the joy of chocolate far and wide, making it accessible to everyone, an essential part of every family, and the perfect companion for every occasion.
Everything good in this world started with a dream
The moment we tasted the chocolate grown from local cacao trees, we realized: the best chocolate is right here! On our homeland! That’s why The Cocoa Project was founded.
From the purest dreams and burning passion for high-quality Vietnamese chocolate, we’ve devoted a lot of time to studying the Vietnamese palate in order to create the best chocolate for Vietnamese people.
With rich flavor, combined with the distinct fruity notes of Vietnamese terroir, The Cocoa Project’s chocolate melts smoothly, preserving a memorable sensation in the memory. And now, in your hands, you hold our pride.
We are The Cocoa Project – Chocolate for the people.
2-year-journey of bringing Chocolate for the people
We are a group of people who grew up with beautiful memories of chocolate and have a desire to nurture and spread the love of chocolate to everyone.
Because we believe that every moment in life can be wonderful and fulfilling when accompanied by chocolate. Or, in short, at The Cocoa Project, we aim to create a chocolate culture for Vietnamese people.
While many may perceive chocolate as a luxury reserved for special occasions, we strive to integrate it into everyday life by showcasing its rich history and inviting customers to delve deeper into its origins.
To bring this vision to life, we have established The Cocoa Project—a unique space that fuses the allure of contemporary art with the world of chocolate.
We desire to use Vietnamese ingredients to create the most delicious chocolate specifically for the Vietnamese people.
Another year, we are once again closer to the desire of creating a chocolate culture in everyone’s heart.
We hope that you always feel joy when holding our chocolate; hope chocolate can share memorable moments with you!

About Gricha - Founder of The Cocoa Project
We often affectionately call Gricha ‘uncle’ a man whose almost his life is closely associated with chocolate, or more specifically, with Vietnamese chocolate. Or, in his words:
“My job is to convince Vietnamese people to believe that they’re living in a country which has the most delicious chocolate in the world!”
Gricha has been in the chocolate business for more than 30 years.
Back to the old days, his desire to innovate in the chocolate industry started as a kid, when he asked his mother “Can we feed chocolate to the cows to produce chocolate milk?”
Gricha first visited Vietnam in 1993. Inspired by the vibrant spirit of the Vietnamese, he immediately decided to move his family and his chocolate business.
His passion for chocolate pushed him further and further to uncover the full potential of the aromatic Vietnamese bean. Combining this quest for flavor and the will to improve cocoa farmers’ livelihoods, Gricha developed Cacao-Trace. This sustainable cocoa sourcing programs has been rolled out globally, and is endorsed by the World Bank. Learn how Cacao-Trace is disrupting the cocoa industry here.
A true idealist, Gricha believes in saving the world through chocolate, one disruption at a time.
“Easy is boring”
