Bionella is a premium organic and vegan chocolate hazelnut spread produced by Rapunzel Naturkost, a pioneer in the organic food movement. Originally launched as a sustainable and ethical alternative to conventional nut nougat creams, bionella is crafted using 100% organic ingredients. The hazelnuts are sourced from Rapunzel's own organic projects in Turkey and Azerbaijan, while other key ingredients like cocoa, cane sugar, and bourbon vanilla are acquired through their dedicated 'HAND IN HAND' fair trade program.

Manufactured in the south of Germany, specifically in Legau, the production process emphasizes environmental responsibility, utilizing carbon-neutral electricity for roasting nuts. The brand remains under the ownership of Rapunzel Naturkost GmbH, a family-owned company founded in 1974 by Joseph Wilhelm and Jennifer Vermeulen. Today, it stands as one of Europe's leading organic food producers, maintaining its commitment to fair trade, biodiversity, and additive-free recipes.
