About Us
After 6 years of research and
product development CCBerries
opened on February
4th, 2004.
During those six years of development one of the things we did was figure out everything that our competitors did wrong. The most obvious thing was that they were not using chocolate. We only use gourmet chocolate, have stronger packaging, and always use gel packs to protect the product from excessive heat.
Even during the coldest of winter months you never know when a package will be routed through a warm weather city or will end up sitting on a heater vent before delivery.
Some of our competitors cut
corners by not using gel packs throughout the year or ship using a less expensive 2 day delivery service. We want
the product to arrive in the best possible condition, so we always use gel packs and only ship so that it arrives the day after it is made.
Always using gel packs and stronger packaging results in a better protected shipment and a heavier shipment. Since the cost of overnight shipping
is really based on distance and weight our shipping may be more expensive than some competitors that cut corners on packaging, gel packs or product quality.
Our
Promises to You:
1) We promise never to call black foam "Velvet" or "plush". One of our competitors
actually does this, we figure thats just
not right and when someone starts misrepresenting the product you never know when they'll stop.
2) Our "Milk", "White" and
"Dark" chocolate is real gourmet chocolate, meeting FDA guidelines for
what is allowed to be called "Chocolate", some of our competitors use a
vegetable oil based confectioners coating instead of cocoa butter based chocolate and then try to pass it
off as chocolate. All of our chocolate is tempered and contains cocoa butter like real chocolate should. A "dip" made by a chocolate manufacture is not the same as real chocolate.
3) All our
pictures for the
web site will involve berries right from production. We will never
employ a food stylist to
put on more toppings, or trim the coconut to one length just for a
pretty picture. What you see on the
web site is exactly what you will get. We dip all the way to the leaves
to protect the berries in transit, why don't our competitors?
4)
"Strawberries & Chocolates" (or "Chocolates &
Strawberries) is not the same as "Chocolate
Covered Strawberries", some companies are using this variation to get
around the rules for false advertising, but then still have their ads
show under the search
term "chocolate covered strawberries".
5) Gourmet chocolate is not found in little blocks or tiny
chips
in the baking section of your local grocery. The companies that use
real gourmet chocolate are proud of it, will use it in thier ads and on
thier web site.
6)
All of our chocolate is
tempered chocolate. Real chocolate tastes better than a confectioners
coating, making a much better product.
7) If
you don't see the word "Chocolate" on a competitor’s
main web page they are probably using
a confectioners coating. Some of the companies who don't use
real
chocolate in their chocolate covered strawberries are listed here,
for
others you can always ask them if their ingredients label has cocoa
butter
listed in the white, milk and dark
chocolate.

Gourmet
Chocolate Covered Strawberries are the perfect gift,
but don’t be swizzled by the vast majority of companies that
don’t use real
chocolate and don’t offer long stem strawberries. If there is no cocoa butter it
can’t be called
chocolate.
