Fatso - Ella Mckay

Say hi to Ella. She’s the founder of Fatso, the chocolate challenger, on a mission to prove that dark chocolate can be just as fun, delicious and chunky as milk.

Founded in 2022, Fatso is stocked in over 350 stores with taste-makers and independents like Liberty, Harvey Nichols as well as hotels and offices, counted amongst its many stockists. Driven by an all female team, they’re proof that you can have your chocolate and eat it. That dark chocolate can be bold, premium and playful, and that life’s more fun when it isn’t full of modesty. Her guiding philosophy: ‘more matters’, is not only threaded into the fibres of her maximalist brand but it’s an idea that reflects what modern consumers expect from brands of today. More. And with flavour names like Morning Glory, Sweet Tart and Home Run she’s definitely providing the whole package. 

In this episode we’ll unwrap the secrets behind Fatso’s success diving into the tired stereotypes of dark chocolate she’s fighting against and what her mantra of ‘more matters’ means in the context of both work and play. Tuck in, guilt free.
