If you know anything about high-end chocolate, you certainly know AVANAA. Located in Montréal, the team sorts each cocoa bean by hand. These are imported from exceptional small farms in Latin America to produce delicious chocolates with unique flavours while supporting sustainable agriculture. The AVANAA team roasts everything in micro-batches and grinds the cocoa for days under granite stones. Next is the careful packaging of each square of chocolate. Why so much effort for simple chocolate you will say? Quite simply to create a delicious chocolate with aromas that you will not find anywhere else. Discover their award-winning chocolate bars at the prestigious International Chocolate Awards as well as their Easter delights.

SOMA Chocolatemaker : From Distillery to the bar (of chocolate)

It was in 2003 that the idea of creating a funky little chocolate shop was born in the minds of David Castellan and Cynthia Leung. Their concept: find new ways to create and enjoy chocolate. It was while making their first batches of chocolate, in the Distillery District (and an old distillery) that they found their passion. In cocoa beans, nature made the perfect “Soma,” a mystical substance mentioned in the Rig Veda and later by Aldous Huxley in the novel Brave New World. It was time for them to start exploring this new frontier. With the loyal support of their chocolate-obsessed customers, they grew to two stores, a small chocolate shop, a network of wholesalers and a small team of wonderfully talented crazy people. Their creations for Easter are simply magnificent.

Shortly after completing four long years of undergrad and a master’s degree in art history, Kata Ambrus decided to push further, this time to see through the Classic French Pastry Arts program at the International Culinary Center in New York.
Proof of her journey, each Kat Chocolate is a small edible work of art. Kata and her team imagine, hand paint, dissect, fill in and style each with meticulous care and attention to detail. For them, the goal is not to reinvent the wheel, but rather to create the best in class. Their punchy flavours have made the taste what they are. According to the team, biting into one of their key lime pie goodies is like biting into a piece of key lime pie!

I received Jacek’s advent calendar from a public relations firm a few years ago, and it was a wonderful find. For example, this rabbit was on a whole new level! Milk chocolate, chewy marshmallow, caramel chips and cocoa nibs make this treat a true indulgence. Treat yourself to the “Happy Bunny” or the “Cheeky Bunny” for a bit of Easter sweetness.
