Ingredients

When you receive Zimt chocolate, you know that whoever gifted it to you wants you to have the best. This is no ordinary chocolate- despite being almost deceptively delicious, superior ingredients make Zimt chocolates go beyond taste. Zimt ingredients are the purest, highest quality, and have your well-being in mind. They have been minimally processed, with nearly all of the ingredients are heated to less than 49° C (120° F), and are of "raw food" quality. There will never be preservatives, artificial colourings, artificial flavours, nor any other unnatural ingredients in your Zimt chocolate.

Almost all Zimt ingredients are sourced from only two plants: the coconut and the cocoa bean. The fruits of these plants have been prepared in various ways to bring different dimensions to the finished chocolate- subtle sweetness and powerful flavour.  Organic, fairly-traded essential oils of peppermint, sweet orange, cinnamon and nutmeg, as well as freshly-ground, fairly-traded, organic coffee may be used, depending on the variety of chocolate bar, but the cacao is always the emphasis.

We know that superfoods other than cacao are a great addition to many foods- they add a powerful, nutrient dense punch. However, we want to focus on the cacao- it is already incredible and has got to shine. (Plus, we know you can taste the spirulina or mushrooms other raw chocolate bars may contain- let's keep those for the smoothies and the pasta sauce!)

All ingredients are harvested by those treated with respect- this respect is passed forward to yourself and your loved ones through fantastic chocolate.   No one, neither human nor animal, was taken advantage of to get these goods.
