Your Quick Guide to Siocolat: Sugar-Free, Vegan Chocolate (FAQ-Style)
If you’re looking for chocolate that fits a lower-sugar lifestyle without losing the indulgent feel, you’re in the right place. Below are the most common questions people ask before buying Siocolat’s sugar-free, vegan treats—with clear, practical answers.
What makes Siocolat sugar-free?
Siocolat products are made without added sugar. We sweeten using plant-based sweeteners (primarily stevia) and, in some recipes, sugar alcohols like maltitol. Always check the product page/label for the exact sweetener used.
Are Siocolat products suitable for people with diabetes?
Many customers choose Siocolat because it’s sugar-free and plant-based. Everyone’s needs and blood glucose response are different, so we recommend reviewing ingredients and serving sizes, and following your clinician’s guidance.
Will sugar-free chocolate spike blood sugar?
Sugar-free doesn’t automatically mean “no impact.” Sweeteners and total carbs can affect people differently. The best approach is to check the nutrition information, keep portions sensible, and track what works for you.
What sweeteners do you use?
Our main sweetener is stevia. Some products may include maltitol, and we’re exploring options like monk fruit and erythritol based on customer feedback and recipe performance.
Can maltitol cause bloating?
Some people are sensitive to sugar alcohols like maltitol, especially in larger portions. If you’re unsure, start with a small serving and see how you feel.
Are your products vegan and dairy-free?
Yes—Siocolat is a vegan brand, and our products are made without dairy ingredients. If you have allergies or sensitivities, please review the ingredient list for each product.
Are your products gluten-free?
Not all products are gluten-free. Some mixes may contain flours or be made in environments where gluten is present. Check each product page/label, and message us if you need help choosing.
Are your products keto-friendly?
That depends on total carbs per serving and your personal targets. If you’re following keto, check the nutrition information and choose the option that best fits your plan.
What should I try first?
If you’re new to Siocolat, most customers start with our sugar-free vegan hot chocolate. Our sugar-free chocolate rice porridge (champorado) is another favorite if you want something cozy and comforting.
What is champorado?
Champorado is a Filipino chocolate rice porridge—rich, chocolatey, and nostalgic. Siocolat’s version is sugar-free and vegan, created for indulgence without added sugar.
How long do your products last, and how should I store them?
Most Siocolat products are shelf-stable for 6 months or longer when stored properly. Keep items sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Do you ship internationally, and how long does shipping take?
Yes—we ship within the UK and internationally (including Europe, Asia, North America, and Oceania). Orders typically ship within 2–3 business days, and delivery time depends on your location and courier.
Can chocolate melt during shipping?
Chocolate can be temperature-sensitive. We take care with packaging and aim to keep shipments under 30°C to protect quality, but extreme heat can still affect texture.
How does Siocolat support Filipino farmers?
A portion of profits from every purchase supports the UN Share the Meal Programme, helping Filipino farmers affected by climate-related disasters.
