The Words That Come Before All Else.
Let us bring our minds together as One.
UNCOMPROMISING INTEGRITY
Our ingredients are organic (or wildcrafted), vegan, low-glycemic, nutritionally dense, and free of gluten, soy, dairy, peanuts, gmo, and anything artificial. We partner with mother nature and small producers to bring you what we like to call botanical alchemy: functional chocolate.
Since the first bar of chocolate I made for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2006, Gnosis has grown 100% organically by word of mouth. We believe a company should invest only in the quality and integrity of its work - not in paid advertising. Our customers are our ambassadors!
A Sweet Choice
Gnosis has always been at the forefront of innovation in natural sweeteners. We were among the first to craft chocolate with agave, then pioneered the use of pure stevia without fillers, and were the first to launch coconut sugar sweetened chocolate to the U.S. market.
Now, we continue this legacy by offering date-sweetened chocolate. Dates, nature's most ancient sweetener, are rich in nutrients and offer a harmony - sophisticated in its simplicity - between indulgence and wellness, elevating chocolate into a source of both sensory and nutritional richness.
It’s impossible to say what this part of the world will look like in the centuries to come, or what sort of people will be bustling around at ground level, eating, quarrelling and telling each other stories. But it’s safe to say that whoever they are, somewhere nearby will be a stand of date trees, traveling gracefully through space and time without moving an inch.

Welcome, ChocoLover!
Since the first bar of chocolate I made for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2006, Gnosis has grown 100% organically by word of mouth. We believe a company should invest only in the quality and integrity of its work - not in paid advertising - and that our customers become our ambassadors, if we are deserving. We do not use PR agencies, machines, or fillers (ingredient that does not have a specific health function).
We make our chocolate with Love, by hand, gift wrap every order, and use only clean, whole, organic, low-glycemic, vegan ingredients (no gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, or GMO) and heirloom cacao beans sourced with great care. In fact, we visited our sources and were a founding member of the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund. We support Herbalists Without Borders. Access to herbal medicine is our birthright.
Gnosis is now producing our bars and elixirs for a few markets (should you wish to receive free chocolate for becoming an ambassador). Online is always the best place to find us - we have a great many seasonal creations and gift collections, all shipped directly from our kitchen in Astoria, NY.
We (my mother and I) could not be more grateful to be entering our 16th year of making chocolate for you! Thank you for voting with your voices and. purchases for the marketplace you wish to see!
Team Gnosis & Mission
Chocolate Girl Vanessa and her Mamma Wonka Aida make, package, and ship everything by hand in their New York City kitchen with so much Love!
Botanical Alchemy
Botanical - a substance obtained from a plant and used as an additive
Alchemy - a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.
Our Sweeteners
We only use low-glycemic, minimally processed sweeteners; coconut sugar, agave nectar, or stevia from farms Vanessa has visited.
Wholesale
After several years of ecommerce only, we are now reopening our wholesale program and would love to stock your local stores as we have in the past - bars $4.99 MSRP!
