Connected to the Soil, Authentic to the Core.
Our storyTaste has a better memory than we do with chocolate.
Where ROOTED begins
The first luxury
There is nothing better to make your day than a bite of chocolate, and if it comes in flavours enjoyed through generations, that is the icing on the cake.
At Heritage On My Plate, we have wrapped chocolate's first luxury in our own traditional twist. ROOTED is a range inspired by India's rich food heritage: a heritage ingredient at the core, encased in handmade chocolate.
Every bar is handcrafted in small batches, with the emphasis on skill, patience and quality rather than speed.

One heritage ingredient per bar, chosen from flavours passed down through generations.
Small batches, made by hand in our New Delhi kitchen.

Memory · Ingredient · Place
ROOTED is a map of India in a few bars. The cacao is the soil. The ingredient is the memory.
Naturally fermented and slow roasted. The base of all five ROOTED bars.
The ghost pepper of the Northeast, infused for a slow, warming heat.
Dark roasted coffee and sweet Ceylon cinnamon, the smell of a kitchen waking up.
Natural orange peel over dark cacao, bright and never too sweet.
From bean to bar
South Indian cacao, naturally fermented, then slow roasted in small batches.
Ground on stone and conched slowly to smooth out harsh tannins.
Tempered until it snaps cleanly and holds its shine.
For the heritage bars, the ingredient goes in last: ghost pepper, coffee and cinnamon, or orange.
Gifting
ROOTED boxes for Diwali, weddings and personalised gifting, with custom sleeves and notes for larger orders.
Questions
We make the chocolate ourselves, starting from the cacao bean: sorting, roasting, grinding, tempering and moulding, instead of melting down ready-made chocolate.
It starts sweet and the heat builds slowly at the finish. If you enjoy a little chilli, you will enjoy it.
New to dark chocolate? Start with Orange or the 65% Plain Dark. If you already love intense chocolate, go for the 85% Premium Dark.
