A brief interview between Dr. Sanda Moldovan and Sage about Sage's vegan, raw chocolates sweetened with xylitol. Sage explains he learned to make chocolate at 18, became interested in health and nutrition, and created the brand to bridge the gap between foods that are healthy but perceived as not tasty and foods that taste good but are unhealthy.
Dr. Sanda Moldovan (host) and Sage (founder/interviewee).
Vegan; raw; sweetened with xylitol.
At age 18.
Hi, guys. I'm Dr. Sanda. I'm here with Sage. We want to talk about his amazing chocolates. And I love them because they're vegan, they're raw, they're sweetened with xylitol. But, Sage, I really want to ask you, like, what was your motivation for creating your brand?
Well, I first learned how to make chocolate when I was 18, and around that time, I was getting into health and nutrition. And there was this big gap between the foods that people thought were going to be good for you but not taste good. On the other hand, you have the foods that are bad for you but taste good. And for a lot of people, there is nothing in between. And this is a big gap you can't cross. You live on one side or you live on the other, and that's about it. I saw chocolate, as I was learning more about the benefits of pure, raw cacao as being this interesting crossover kind of gateway between these two. Like, it's almost like the size of the Grand Canyon. And this is this little bridge across that's made and built out of chocolate. And this bridge is something that people.
