## What is Chof?

Stop buying chocolate blindly. Scan a bar before you buy or taste it to see what's behind the wrapper: the maker, origin, cocoa %, ingredients, flavor notes, and its Chof Score. Free to scan, no signup. Like Vivino, but for chocolate.

Most wrappers tell a story. Chof helps you read between the lines, and discover better chocolate.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan the wrapper, or search by name
2. See the maker, origin, ingredients, flavor notes, and Chof Score in seconds
3. Rate it, tag the flavors you taste, and save it to your collection

USE CHOF WHEN
- You're in a shop or supermarket and not sure which bar is worth it
- You're choosing between dark, milk, or white
- You want to remember a bar you loved, or one to avoid
- You want to discover craft makers, cacao origins, and new bars
- You're building your own taste in chocolate

WHY CHOF
- Independent. No paid placement, no sponsored bars, ever.
- 1,741 bars from 296 makers across 78 cacao origins.
- The full picture. Maker, origin, cocoa %, ingredients, and a Chof Score on nearly every bar, plus nutrition and awards where available.
- Yours to keep. Rate bars, tag flavors, add private notes, and watch your taste profile grow.
- Browse your way. Explore bars by maker, origin, cocoa %, and type.

TWO 70% BARS ARE NEVER THE SAME
One is bright and fruity, the next is deep and nutty. One maker tells you exactly where the cacao grew, another tells you almost nothing. Chof shows you the maker, origin, and flavor behind each bar, so you can tell the difference without becoming an expert first.

CHOF PREMIUM
For people who scan more than they snack. Premium raises your scan limits and unlocks deeper flavor and ingredient detail and discovery tools. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans. Restore purchases anytime.

GOOD TO KNOW
Chof works best when a bar is already in the catalog, and every new scan helps it grow.

BUILT BY A CHOCOLATE EXPERT
Made in Amsterdam by Felipe van Beetz, an IICCT Level 2 chocolate and cacao taster and International Chocolate Awards Judge. The goal is not to make chocolate feel elite. It's to make better chocolate easier to find, one scan at a time.

Ever stood in front of a shelf wondering which bar is actually worth it? Chof is for you. Download free and scan your first bar in seconds.
