Antidote Chocolate | Food Portfolio on RubiDM

About us

I'm Red Thalhammer, founder and Creative Director of Antidote Chocolate. It started with a text message in the midst of a recession in NYC. I wrote to a friend: "Sorry I was poisonous today." He wrote back: "No worries — I'll make an antidote for you." Something about that word stopped me. What if there really was an antidote to all the emotional challenges people face? I went to sleep with the question. The next morning I woke up with the answer: chocolate. Real chocolate, at full strength, could be exactly that. Obsessed by this idea, I started to make it happen. Most chocolate is engineered to mask. High sugar, aggressive processing, and anonymous commodity cacao cover over bitterness and low-quality sourcing. The result tastes fine. But it doesn't nourish — because the processing that makes it palatable destroys the compounds that make cacao powerful. You end up with sugar and fat in a brown wrapper. That's not what we make.

And this is what keeps us going

Our Motto

Cacao — real cacao, at full strength — is one of the most potent mood-supporting, stress-reducing foods on earth. It contains magnesium, iron, theobromine, anandamide, and more antioxidants than almost any other food. My mission since 2009 has been simple: make a chocolate that actually delivers those benefits. Not as a marketing claim. As a fact of how it's made. An antidote to fatigue, anxiety, low mood, and the dull weight of a difficult day.
