“Why can’t anybody make great tasting organic candy bars? That was the question weighing on Denis Ring’s mind. Being a natural food expert, he was certain it was just a matter of time before a delicious, organic all-American candy bar would hit stores. However, years passed and nothing happened. This is when Denis took matters into his own hands. He started working with different concepts to create something tasty. Denis wanted some honest feedback, so he brought these early samples to his friend and entrepreneur, Scott Kucirek. Scott was sold after his first bite! Denis invited Scott to join him in building a truly innovative organic candy company. When selecting a location for its factory, the team couldn’t resist the lure of West Oakland. Like OCHO Candy, it was up-and-coming and ready to shine. And it’s where OCHO continues finding new ways to make candy more delicious and surprising. At OCHO Candy: We believe that organic can be and should be delicious. We believe candy bars should be beautiful inside and out. We believe old school candy bars should be made with new school common sense-keep the ingredients real and the artificial out. We believe in saying what we mean and making what we say. We believe in democratizing our candy bars-everyone deserves to enjoy organic candy at a good value.”-Ocho Website
