What Fossa Chocolate does
Fossa Chocolate is a Singapore-based private limited company (Fossa Chocolate Pte Ltd) operating an artisan bean-to-bar chocolate manufactory out of a single factory at 30 Gambas Crescent. The company controls the full chocolate-making process from raw cacao through roasting, cracking and winnowing, refining, and conching, sourcing beans from origins including Tanzania, Uganda, Malaysia, Ecuador, Philippines, and Peru, including Cocoa of Excellence award-winning lots. Its product range spans single-origin and flavored dark, dark milk, and white bars; confections such as meltaways and dragées; limited-edition collaboration bars; and a library of gift sets and themed kits that bundle chocolate with adjacent specialty foods.
The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model. Direct-to-consumer e-commerce via its own website (with international DHL shipping, self-pickup from the factory, and never-expiring digital gift cards from SGD 30 to SGD 500) is layered with domestic retail distribution through 30+ Singapore stockists including Little Farms Markets and Changi Airport, plus dedicated marketplace partners Caputos Market for US/Canada and S&L Imports for Australia. A separate enterprise sales function handles corporate gifting for clients such as UOB, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Chanel, Montblanc, Lexus, Bentley, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and Temasek Polytechnic, offering custom packaging, personalized bellybands, and bulk orders. Bespoke wedding and event favors (minimum 50 standard / 280 full-customization pieces) and customizable chocolate workshops for team building and celebrations round out the service lines. The company is co-founded by Yilina (Director of Business & Partnerships), Jay (Chocolate Maker & Curator), and Charis (Chocolate Maker), is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding, and operates a related subsidiary brand, Fossa Provisions, in specialty food products.
