Ziaho Apple Cinnamon Chocolate Bar

Ziaho is a premium Indian craft chocolate brand that celebrates the country's diverse culinary and linguistic heritage. Founded in 2022 by entrepreneurs Nisha and Karan Tejani, the brand is based in Mahabaleshwar, Maharashtra, where it operates its own manufacturing facility. Ziaho distinguishes itself by sourcing high-quality cacao beans from South India and pairing them with indigenous ingredients from across the subcontinent, such as apples from Kashmir and cinnamon from Kerala.

The brand is owned by Cocano Hospitality Services LLP, a private entity established by the Tejani family. Ziaho's philosophy, reflected in its name (derived from the Sanskrit words for 'Joy' and 'Delight'), focuses on the 'bean-to-bar' process, ensuring control over every stage from fermentation and roasting to conching. This artisanal approach aims to provide a modern Indian chocolate experience that balances the natural bitterness of local cacao with unique, home-grown flavor profiles.
