It was an October day in 2010 when Paula turned to Dan and said, "I think we should make a raw chocolate kit."
Four weeks later, the first batch was made, a website was built, and Elements for Life was born.
What started on a kitchen table has grown into a family-run cacao business, run from a converted barn in Wiltshire we call Woolley Wonkaland.

We make ceremonial cacao, raw chocolate making kits, and vegan drinking chocolate, all from ethically sourced Peruvian Criollo cacao.
Whether you're drinking cacao daily, running workshops, or making your own chocolate at home, that's what we're here for.
We're cacao crazy! Ever since we first tasted raw chocolate in 2010 and realised how different it was to anything we'd had before. The flavour, the way it makes you feel. We've been exploring and experimenting ever since what cacao can do, and we're still learning.
From farm to cup. Our cacao is grown by a workers' co-operative in the Junín and Pangoa regions of Peru. Small family farms, traditional methods, organic standards. Farming practices that support biodiversity and fair income for the communities who grow it.
Made by hand, packed with care. We prepare everything in small batches at our workshop in Wiltshire and pack it in 100% plastic-free, home compostable bags. From how we work with our suppliers to how your order arrives at your door, the little things matter to us.
We've partnered with TreeSisters - Women Seeding Change since 2019 and donate quarterly to support tropical reforestation and supporting women's empowerment projects.
Through this partnership we've planted over 10,000 trees so far. It's a small thing in the big picture, but it matters to us.
