With the brand’s signature playfully incorporating a cocoa seed-filled “O,” and Motiva Sans font, adding an elegant touch, the packaging becomes a canvas that tells the story of cocoa’s journey from native trees in the Atlantic forest. Blending aesthetics and ethics, Sanalles’ design choice to use FSC-certified cardboard and ecologically friendly inks highlights the brand’s commitment to shrinking its environmental footprint. As the packaging unfolds, it incorporates a narrative presenting the cocoa’s flavors through the lens of mystical plants and magical beings.
