Goodio's Nordic Flavors share [vegan, organic and gluten-free chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-vegan-chocolates) that are inspired by nature. The chocolate treats offer anywhere from 69% to 71% cacao content and take after themes like Flower, Forest, Sea and Berry.

While the flower-inspired flavor is fittingly topped with petals from geraniums, roses and cornflowers, as well as rose crystals and birch sugar, Sea is a treat that offers a different take on [sea salt chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolove-bars) with tar nibs and a formula that pays tribute to the Baltic Sea. The collection also includes Forest, which is topped with dried birch leaves, as well as Berry, one of the chocolates with the [highest cacao content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolatecovered-snacks) containing wild strawberries, sea buckthorns and lingonberries, and black currant leaves.
