The Chof chocolate app
Chof is a chocolate app for iOS and Android. Scan a wrapper to see what is in the bar, rate it with stars and flavour notes, and Chof suggests what to try next from your ratings.
Built by an IICCT-certified chocolate taster and International Chocolate Awards judge.
Free on iOS and Android, no signup to start scanning.
How it works
Scan the wrapper
Point your camera at the front or back of a bar. Chof matches it in the catalog of 2,500+ bars and shows the maker, origin, cocoa percentage, ingredients, flavour notes and Chof Score.
Rate it
Give the bar one to five stars, pick up to six flavour notes such as orange blossom or honey, and add a note only you can see. You can rate as a guest.
Keep every bar in My Bars
Every bar you scan, rate or save goes into your library, with your stars, flavour notes and notes attached.
- Wishlist
- The bars you want to try next.
- Have it
- The bars already in your cupboard.
- Favorites
- The bars you loved.
- Sort and filter
- By your rating, maker, origin, cacao percentage and more.
Find your next bar
Your ratings are the input. From them, Home suggests what to try next, and the catalog is there to search when you have a bar in mind.
- For You
- Bars matched to your taste, from your stars and flavour notes. Each card says why: an origin you rate well, or notes that match your palate.
- Your taste
- After five rated bars, it names the flavour family, origin or maker you rate highest.
- From makers in your country
- A shelf of bars from makers where you are, when the catalog has enough of them.
- Search
- Find any bar by name, maker or origin, and open a maker to see everything they make.
The catalog is on the web too

Frequently asked
Which bars are in the catalog?
2,500+ bars from 430+ makers, from craft and bean-to-bar makers to supermarket staples, each with its maker, origin, cocoa percentage and ingredients. If a bar is missing, scan it: Chof checks it, usually within a day, and until then only you see it.
Does it work outside the Netherlands?
Yes. The catalog covers makers from many countries and the app works the same wherever you are. Home also shows bars from makers in your own country when the catalog has them.
Is the catalog on chof.nl the same as in the app?
It is the same catalog. A new bar reaches the app first and chof.nl once it is published. Scanning, rating and My Bars are only in the app.
How does Your taste work?
It reads your star ratings. After five rated bars it looks for the flavour family, origin or maker you rate highest, and from ten it shows how your stars are spread.
