It started with a craving. Not just any craving—but one that tugged at the edges of a tired soul after a long day, whispering for something richer than routine and more meaningful than a vending-machine sugar fix. Something smooth, dark, a little zesty. Something that would quiet the noise, slow down the moment, and feel—miraculously—good for you.
That’s the moment when NETO Chocolate steps in. And suddenly, chocolate isn’t just dessert. It’s an experience.
Welcome to NETO Chocolate, the Brooklyn-born, Manhattan-loved brand that’s rewriting the rules of indulgence. A place where handcrafted bonbons are made with coconut milk and avocado oil, not as a trendy twist but as a loving commitment to realness. A place where every orange slice is glazed with the kind of patience that can only be measured in days, not minutes. A place where chocolate is a celebration of wellness—not a break from it.
A Family Affair Rooted in Flavor and Feel-Good Philosophy
Since 2012, NETO has been quietly—but powerfully—cultivating a following of flavor-seekers, wellness warriors, and chocolate lovers who don’t believe in settling. Founded and operated by a dedicated family team, NETO began as a labor of love and remains just that: intensely personal, passionately handmade, and deliciously intentional.
Behind the charming packaging and polished gift boxes is a real kitchen, a real crew, and a real mission—to create chocolates that taste extraordinary and feel like self-care. And it shows. Every truffle, every dipped orange slice, every custom-curated flavor box is prepared in small batches by NETO’s in-house artisans. No outsourcing. No preservatives. Just honest-to-goodness chocolate, built from the ground up to nourish the body and delight the senses.
That Orange Slice Everyone’s Talking About
Let’s talk about the orange. Not just any orange—this is NETO’s famed Chocolate Dipped Glazed Orange Slice, a product so richly satisfying and beautifully made, it almost feels too pretty to eat. Almost.
There’s an entire journey behind that single slice. It starts with choosing the perfect fruit. Cara Cara oranges, when in season, are the team’s go-to—less bitter, more flavorful, and a radiant hue that practically glows. Once selected, the oranges are lovingly boiled—not once, not twice, but several times—to soften any residual bitterness and coax their natural sweetness. Then comes the glazing.
Glazing at NETO isn’t a quick sugar dunk. It’s a 72-hour slow dance with sweetness. The slices are gently bathed in sugar, layer by layer, over three days. After drying to a glossy finish, they are dipped—by hand, of course—into a rich 56% Belgian semi-sweet chocolate. The result? A delicate, chewy, chocolate-glossed masterpiece that feels like citrus sunshine wrapped in a velvet coat.
It’s vegan, yes. But more importantly, it’s vibrant, it’s elevated, and it’s the kind of thing that instantly upgrades any snack moment into a ritual.
Truffles That Speak in Flavors, Not Fads
Then there are the NETO bonbons—and calling them “truffles” almost doesn’t do them justice. These are edible love notes, each one composed with balance and intention. Made with 56% or 70% dark chocolate, every piece is its own story.
No artificial flavors. No preservatives. No seed oils. Instead, you’ll find cold-pressed avocado oil, organic coconut milk, and organic cocoa butter. The result? A silky mouthfeel, an indulgent texture, and a gentle energy that doesn’t leave you crashing twenty minutes later.
And the flavor options? Oh, you’d better believe this is where it gets personal. Customers can build their boxes from a rotating selection that includes crowd-pleasers and seasonal surprises alike. Fruity? Nutty? Floral? Bold? Whatever your mood, there’s a truffle that matches it. You could say the truffles have personality. Or you could say they’re tiny mood-lifting miracles. Either way, you’ll be smiling.
It’s no wonder that NETO’s “Your Choice of Flavors” gift box has become a fan favorite. It’s not just about choosing chocolate—it’s about curating an experience that reflects who you are and what you love.
A Wellness-Forward Chocolate Brand That Means It
Now, it would be easy to slap “wellness” on a label and call it a day. But the brand isn’t in the business of health-washing. Their definition of wellness is rooted in integrity.
They source their chocolate blends mindfully, using premium semi-sweet and dark varieties rich in antioxidants and low in nonsense. Ingredients are natural, often organic, and always purposeful. That includes the fats (hello, avocado oil), the sweeteners, and the finishing touches. The idea isn’t to turn chocolate into a supplement—it’s to return it to its roots: food that nourishes, body and soul.
So yes, these treats are vegan-friendly. They’re free from weird chemicals. But more than anything, they’re made with respect—for the process, for the palate, and for the person eating them.
From Brooklyn Kitchens to Your Living Room
At the heart of NETO is a belief that food made with intention carries energy. And you can feel that energy the moment you open a box. It’s in the shine of the glaze, the aroma of the cocoa, the surprising burst of flavor in each truffle.
Their Brooklyn kitchen is where the magic happens. But their reach? That’s nationwide. NETO ships across the U.S., bringing indulgent wellness to chocolate lovers from coast to coast. And their Manhattan store? It’s a haven for gift shoppers, self-care seekers, and anyone looking for that rare combination of luxury and warmth.
The Perfect Gift—Even If You’re the Recipient
There’s something deeply special about receiving NETO chocolate. Maybe it’s the elegance of the packaging. Maybe it’s the artistry inside. Or maybe it’s the feeling that someone really thought about you—what you like, what you’d savor, what you deserve.
Whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday, or a just because kind of day, NETO’s products are memory-makers. They’re the type of gift you want to open slowly, savor fully, and maybe even hide from your housemates.
And for those moments when you need to be your own best gift-giver? A slice of chocolate-dipped orange and a quiet corner can feel like a mini-vacation.
The Future of Chocolate Is Personal
NETO is more than a brand. It’s a movement. A quiet, delicious rebellion against the idea that pleasure and health are at odds. They’re proving, one handcrafted treat at a time, that you don’t have to choose between indulgence and intention.
They’re showing us that chocolate can be luxurious and light on the conscience. That a truffle can be nourishing as well as decadent. That an orange slice can be the center of a 72-hour love story and still fit in your palm.
And they’re reminding us that in a world full of fast food, fast fashion, and fast everything, slow chocolate is a radical act.
A Final Bite
So what’s the takeaway here? That your next favorite moment might be wrapped in gold foil, nestled in a box from Brooklyn, and infused with avocado oil. That pleasure can be pure. That sweetness doesn’t have to mean sacrifice.
NETO Chocolate isn’t trying to be your guilty pleasure. It wants to be your guilt-free ritual. A spark of joy in your day. A gift to yourself, made with love by people who truly care.
Because at the end of the day, the best chocolate isn’t just about taste. It’s about how it makes you feel.
And NETO? Oh, it makes you feel amazing.
