Newly launched brand Blue Stripes was founded by Oded Brenner who left his chocolate youth creation – Max Brenner – and took a long five years chocolate break. Oded put aside his Willy Wonka hat and went to the other side of chocolate, its unknown wild side – Cacao.
For the holidays – they have a wonderful selection of gift boxes and bundles to choose from – as well as a variety of Cacao chocolate options from their shop that are all vegan! Blue Stripes uses the natural powers that are in the whole Cacao – shell, fruit, beans – to maximize its superfood benefits and promote holistic wellness including physical, mental and emotional balance. Blue Stripes is mixing the whole Cacao Culinary art with Chocolate Fun.
On a trip to the Blue Mountains in Jamaica he met a cool guy, Jody, which served him with ”Jamaican Cacao Breakfast”- a beverage that enlightened him with a fascinating way of preparing chocolate beverages straight from the beans and retain the wild flavors of its origins.
It was a real coincidence when he stopped few weeks after in a Brazilian grocery store in Queens and discovered the Cacao Fruit Pulp and yet another unknown cultural aspect of the endless possible culinary creations of Cacao – this time refreshing granola bowls and energy smoothies’ that are prepared from the fruit in South American cultures. So he decided to go back to USQ, Manhattan, open “Blue Stripes Cacao Shop” and tell sensual stories of taste, smell and colors that are known for so long to the tropical cacao jungles tribes – bringing the tropical cacao jungle to your urban plate.

About its Whole Cacao Wellness – Blue Stripes is using the miraculous natural powers that are in the whole Cacao – shell, fruit, beans – to maximize its superfood benefits and promote holistic wellness including physical, mental and emotional balance. Blue Stripes is mixing the whole Cacao Culinary art with Chocolate Fun. For centuries the Central American natives that lived in the tropical jungle understood through instincts and heritage the enormous health benefits and mental contributions of the Whole Cacao. They made juices from the fruit, cakes from the shell’s flour and energy beverages from the beans paste (or chocolate as we know it today). Cacao had such a magical impact on their health and mental energy so they considered it as: Food of the Gods “Theo- Broma”. Now Blue Stripes is sharing the unknown whole cacao’s secrets and exploring through modern science the secrets of its holy goodness.
