What is KoRo?
KoRo is a French retailer specializing in bulk and high-quality food products.

What I Like About KoRo
- Wide Product Range & Health Focus
KoRo carries a vast assortment of health-oriented products: organic (“bio”) items, vegan/plant-based options, high-protein snacks, superfoods (like goji berries) etc. From nut butters to protein bars to dried fruit and healthy oils, there’s something for almost any healthy eating or snacking preference. - Good Value for Bulk / Bigger Sizes
Many products come in large quantities (1 kg packs, or multi-packs) which helps lower the cost per kilo. For example, staples like raw almonds, large bags of oats, big jars of nut butters are priced more affordably due to size. This is great if you consume these regularly or use them in cooking or baking. - Organic / Premium Options
KoRo offers many “bio” / organic products. Also, the ratings (customer reviews) are generally high, indicating strong customer satisfaction. - Transparency & Services
- They display clear pricing (price per kilo or per liter) which makes it easier to compare.
- Free shipping above a certain order value (“À partir de 99 euros, non seulement les frais de port sont gratuits mais …”) and occasional promotions.
- Customer reviews are visible, helping assess taste/quality.
Some Recommended Products
Here are a few standout items I’d particularly recommend from KoRo, based on value + use case:
| Product | Why It’s Worth Getting |
|---|---|
| Purée d’amandes blanches (White Almond Purée, 500g-1kg) | Great for smoothies, baking, or spread. The quality seems good, and almond products are often expensive—so buying in a larger format saves. |
| Baies de goji bio (Organic Goji Berries, 1 kg) | Superfood, antioxidant rich. Good choice for topping breakfast bowls or snacking. |
| Barres protéinées & Snacks protéinés (Protein Bars / Protein Snacks) | For an active lifestyle, these are handy. KoRo’s protein bars seem popular and well-rated. |
| Flocons d’avoine bio (Organic Oat Flakes, 2.5 kg) | A great staple. Bulk size + organic = economical and nutritious for daily breakfast or cooking. |
| Mélange noix & chocolat sucré-salé (Nut & Sweet-Salty Chocolate Mix) | For occasional treats — better than many processed snacks. Good balance between indulgence and healthier ingredients. |
What Could Be Better / Things to Check
- Taste Variation: Some reviews mention that certain items are less intensely flavored than expected. For example, some bars, or chai latte preparations. If you expect very strong flavor, you may need to adjust (adding spices etc.).
- Initial Cost: Buying bulk means upfront cost is higher, although cost per unit is lower. If you don’t use items frequently, the larger packaging might not always be practical (freshness etc.).
- Shipping / Storage: Larger bulk items can be heavy, and you’ll need enough storage space. Also check shipping to your country if outside France, and how fragile or perishable items are packed.
Who Should Use KoRo
- People who cook or bake regularly and use staples like oats, nut butters, proteins etc.
- Those following plant-based, organic, or health-conscious diets.
- Snack lovers who want healthier options.
- Shoppers who prefer buying larger amounts to save money per unit.
