(04-26-2024) SELEUSS - COCOA CHOCOLATE PRICES UPDATE

Above is a screen capture of the CC00 or Cocoa Continuous Contract price and as you can see, its currently at $10,722 per MT. Versus $3,794 back on 11/01/2023. That is a 182% increase since the holidays!

As per our previous posts, our ingredients costs have also gone up tremendously since Q3 2023 and much more since the global pandemic shutdown in 2020. BTW, we were closed for 7 months back in 2020, from March to October and what a ride it has been the last 4 years!!

As you can see in the contract pricing chart above, the future prices are expected to come down around Q3 2024 and much more by Q4 2025, however, but not down to Q4 2023 prices. The December 2025 contract at the current $7400 is almost double of the November 1st 2023 close at $3794. Therefore, we do not expect cocoa/chocolate prices to fall back to 2023 Holiday prices anytime soon...

Here are SELEUSS, rather than cutting costs, reducing chocolate bar sizes and weights, and filling your truffles with more sugar (ie Caramels) or cheaper milk chocolates, we will be maintaining our standards, however you will be seeing gradual and inevitable increases in the price of our chocolates... :/

SELEUSS - BAUTA 40% + ORANGE & BEE POLLEN

BATCH 1438B

the BAUTA™ satin SERIES: our interpretation of what a white chocolate should be: creamier, smoother, real cocoa butter (no palm oil), and less sugar (20-25% less). Named after the traditional venetian white BaÙtta mask, it has a square jaw line, often tilted upwards to enable the wearer to talk, eat and drink easily without revealing their identity. Now you too can enjoy this without judgment! ;) This batch is made from 13.88% PERU, 58.23% Ivory coast, & 27.89% SELEUSS Prop.

LOTTO SPECIALI: BLOCK: 166, TOTAL BARS MADE: 13

INGREDIENTS: WHITE Chocolate (Cacao butter, sugar, full cream milk, lactose, sunflower LECITHIN, vanilla), ORANGE SLICES (oranges, cane sugar, ascorbic acid (vitamin-c), sulfites (for freshness)), SPANISH BEE POLLEN, PASSION FRUIT EXTRACT, LEMON OIL, TANGERINE OIL.

CONTAINS: BEE POLLEN, milk and lactose. This product is processed in a facility that contains milk, eggs, wheat, hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashews and other nuts. WARNING: Do not feed honey or honey related products like bee pollen to infants under 1 year of age. STORAGE: Please store chocolate BAR in THE ACCOMPANIED ZIPPEd POUCH, between 54-61°F (~12-16°C), in a dark and dry place, preferably in a wine cooler. Standard refrigerator is fine. PREPARATION: For best results, please allow chocolate BAR to equalize to room temperature of between 68-72°F (~20-22°C) for approximately 5-15 minutes; depending on ambient room temperature and in an airtight environment to prevent moisture condensation on the surface of the chocolate BAR.
