PROFILE: Zotter Chocolate

Although Zotter has been making bean-to-bar chocolate in Austria for nearly 20 years, their funky, creative and delicious bars and cocoa have not been widely available in the US until now. We are delighted to be the first online shop to offer Zotter Chocolate in North America! Josef Zotter explains that his chocolate is always made by passionately following three principals: “We are not just part ORGANIC but totally, we follow the FAIR TRADE principles not just in part but with full conviction, and we don’t just pretend to produce chocolate but have the entire production process – from BEAN–TO–BAR –– in our house.”

Zotter embodies the spirit of exploration with a wide range of innovative creations from the single–origin Labooko bar sets to flavored drinking chocolate and one of a kind chocolate–covered confections called “hand scooped chocolates.” Start your own exploration now.
