Certified Zimt Chocolates Products

Zimt Chocolates’ founder Emma Smith began her plant-based journey at age 15, while recovering from an eating disorder in the hospital. A fellow patient introduced her to a lifestyle of compassion for animals and a vegan diet; since then, this mantra of greater purpose has informed the core of all she does.

Emma began experimenting with raw chocolate during her final year of university. While backpacking across Europe, she encountered a mysterious, popular “uncooked” chocolate – a version of her preferred indulgence that satisfied both her flavour and ethical tastes. She was certain that her fellow yoga-loving, green juice-drinking Vancouverites would love this new world variety. But when she returned home, she couldn’t find the kind of refinement she was looking for – a raw chocolate that had the same creamy aroma, velvety melt-down and refined texture as its conventional original. So, instead of taking her Honours Degree in Commerce and getting a “real job”, Emma took a page from her childhood diary and started her own business as a raw chocolatier.

Zimt is a full line of the finest and most ethical indulgences and luxuries. Zimt can be found in select specialty retailers across North America.
