Chooka produces and distributes 100% natural organic hibiscus juices. Hibiscus is reputed for its health properties also rich in antioxidants and detox properties. It is new on the scene and increasingly gaining popularity, among consumers and chefs alike, having several culinary applications and a rich surprising flavor.

Originaire de Nantes, l’entreprise Chooka est née de la volonté d’allier les riches saveurs africaines des fleurs et des fruits exotiques avec le savoir-faire français. Cette rencontre est un voyage depuis le Nigeria, d’où sont originaires les fleurs d’hibiscus, jusqu’en France où sont produites les boissons à partir d’ingrédients naturels et sans conservateur.

François et Maggy Doucet ont installé un atelier de confiserie au coeur d'Oraison, dans le dernier cassoir d'amandes encore en service. Leur unique produit était alors les " Pralino Eis Amando de Prouvènço " : amandes de Provence grillées enveloppées d'une nougatine (mélange de sucre caramélisé et d'amande en poudre), d'herbes de Provence et de vanille bourbon. Riches de la tradition héritée de son arrièregrand-père Théodore Vieillard, créateur de la pâte de fruits d'Auvergne, les produits créés par François Doucet et ses enfants sont régulièrement récompensés sur les salons professionnels pour leurs qualités et leurs originalités.
