And that's precisely why it's worth taking a closer look at these two new products, which could be a real game-changer for people with allergies, histamine intolerance, or cocoa intolerance.

🌱 Why chocolate without cocoa is even a topic
For many people, chocolate is a treat they can eat without a second thought. But there is a growing group for whom cocoa – or more precisely, the biogenic amines it contains – poses a real problem. Histamine intolerance, migraines, neurodermatitis, intolerances: for some, cocoa is simply taboo.
Dammenberg has taken on this challenge and created something that sounds almost impossible: a chocolate alternative that tastes like chocolate, but isn't.
And the best part: As always with Dammenberg, the products are free from milk, gluten, soy, nuts, peanuts, and sesame. This makes them among the most allergen-friendly sweets currently available.
✨ Free Choco Light – the mild, creamy milk alternative
When you try Free Choco Light for the first time, you're surprised at how familiar it feels. It has something gentle, round, almost nostalgic – like a light chocolate you knew from childhood, but without the heaviness of classic milk chocolate.
Taste & Texture
- Creamy and soft, almost melting like a light chocolate
- Mildly sweet, without being overpowering
- Surprisingly chocolatey, although no cocoa is included
- A round, harmonious taste that immediately feels pleasant

- Fans of light chocolate who want to try something new
🌑 Free Choco Dark – the aromatic, dark variety without cocoa
While the Light version is mild and creamy, Free Choco Dark shows a completely different side. It is more intense, more aromatic, almost mysterious – even though it is also completely cocoa-free.
Taste & Texture
- Aromatic and full-bodied, with an unexpected depth
- Round and balanced, without bitterness

🔬 How does Dammenberg even manage this?
For years, Dammenberg has been working on innovative recipes that allow allergy sufferers and people with intolerances to enjoy treats. The Free-Choco varieties are based on a cocoa-free plant base, which is designed to:
- melt creamily
- taste aromatic
- and create a chocolate-like texture
Without cocoa. Without milk. Without soy. Without nuts. Without gluten.
The result is not an imitation, but a category of its own: a cocoa-free delight that feels like chocolate – but is free from everything many people cannot tolerate.
🎯 Conclusion: A small miracle for all who love chocolate – but cannot tolerate cocoa
The new Free-Choco varieties are more than just a new product. They are a sign of how creative and inclusive modern food manufacturers can be. Dammenberg has created something that people with intolerances often lack: a real indulgence that doesn't taste like a compromise.
Whether Light or Dark – both varieties surprise, delight, and open a door to a new kind of chocolate enjoyment.
Why "chocolate without cocoa" is so special – and why "cocoa-free" doesn't mean "tasteless"
Many people today specifically look for sweets that are cocoa-free. Others, in turn, enter terms into search engines such as cocoa-free, no cocoa, chocolate-free, or even chocolate without chocolate. Dammenberg's new Free-Choco varieties meet exactly these needs – without compromising on taste.
While classic chocolate always contains cocoa, these two varieties are completely cocoa-free, making them ideal for anyone who cannot tolerate cocoa, has to avoid cocoa, or is consciously looking for alternatives to cocoa. Whether you're looking for cocoa-free chocolate, chocolate without cocoa, cocoa-free sweets, or chocolate-like indulgence without cocoa – Free Choco Light and Free Choco Dark fit all these categories.

- lactose-free
- gluten-free
- without gluten
- soy-free
- without soy
- peanut-free

This makes them among the most allergen-friendly sweets on the market – or to put it another way: among the free-from products that truly deliver on their promise.
Whether someone is looking for allergen-free sweets, sweets without nuts, dairy-free alternatives, gluten-free snacks, or soy-free treats – these two varieties cover all these needs.
Perfect for people with histamine intolerance – or anyone who wants to enjoy "low histamine"
Cocoa is a problem for many people with histamine intolerance. Therefore, those affected often search for terms like:
- low histamine snacking

- cocoa-free alternatives
The Free-Choco varieties are naturally low in histamine because they are completely cocoa-free. This makes them one of the few true alternatives for people who otherwise have to do without chocolate.

Whether you call it chocolate without chocolate, cocoa-free chocolate, chocolate-like sweet, cocoa-free treat, or plant-based chocolate alternative – the Free-Choco varieties achieve something that hardly any product has achieved before:
They offer chocolatey indulgence without being chocolate. They taste chocolatey, even though they are cocoa-free. They are nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free – and yet incredibly delicious.
For many, this is not just an alternative, but a new kind of enjoyment
