On 20 April, 130 cyclists will ride from our factory in Amsterdam to Germany to deliver 18,000 chocolate bars to German retailers.

This 'Chocolatemakers Schokofahrt' is an initiative by German bicycle enthusiasts who are making our chocolate available in Germany. Nikolai Wystrychowski, initiator of the Schokofahrt from Munster: "We would like to contribute to Chocolatemakers' mission to make the last part of their cocoa chain sustainable. It feels good to contribute in a positive way with our passion for cycling'.

Under the name Chocolatemakers Schokofahrt, more than 100 cyclists cycle twice a year from 34 German cities to Amsterdam. Here they load 1800 kg of chocolate into their cargo bikes and ride back to Germany to deliver our chocolate to 80 shops. The route varies from 230 km (Munster) to 1300 km (Vienna-Austria).

Together with the Schokofahrt, we form our own unique chocolate chain that is sustainable from start to finish.We have realised a fully sustainable chocolate chain, from bean to bar. The beans (from the Dominican Republic) are sailed to Amsterdam on the sailing ship 'Tres Hombres' and we then turn them into strong chocolate in our own factory in Amsterdam, powered by green electricity, of course.

Are you curious about the route? Or are you a cycling (and chocolate) fanatic yourself? Take a look at here the route. Support the 'Chocolatemakers Schokofahrt' and come and collect the chocolate yourself by bike from our chocolate factory on April 20th.
