Maker: Allo Simonne based in Montreal, QC, Canada.
Inspired by the boreal forest, our white chocolate bar combines the freshness of apple with the warmth of candy cap mushrooms, a small wild mushroom harvested in Quebec, known for its natural maple aroma. From the very first bite, the apple offers an explosion of refreshing flavours. Then, as the chocolate melts, subtle notes of maple slowly emerge. A natural, soothing and almost nostalgic combination, a delicate nod to our northern terroir.

Maker: Allo Simonne based in Montreal, QC, Canada.
Ingredients: Hazelnuts, Organic Cane Sugar, Jaguar Dark Chocolate (70% theobroma bicolor, Organic Cane Sugar, Cocoa Mass, Organic Cocoa Butter, Vanilla Beans), Cocoa Powder, Vanilla Beans, Sea Salt.
The best chocolate hazelnut spread I’ve ever tasted. Tastes like a creamy milky hazelnut spread, but there is absolutely no dairy, so this product is 100% plant-based. The addition of cacao’s cousin, Jaguar beans (Theobroma bicolor) adds that extra creamy and nutty flavour. If you love gianduja, you will need to sit down while eating this. Spread it on toast, crackers, cookies, add it to your fruit or oatmeal bowl, blend it in a smoothie or even hot chocolate. The possibilities are endless. Impeccable. Puts all other chocolate hazelnut spreads you find at grocery stores to shame.
And if you don’t like it? Well, we likely can’t be friends.

Maker: Cacaoworks based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Cacao is from the Madagascar Sambriano Valley.
Cacaoworks makes their own black garlic from whole Alberta-grown Russian Red organic garlic. Black garlic originated in Korea, and is made by very slowly “cooking” the garlic over weeks at a low heat until the cloves turn soft and black and taste like a balsamic reduction with garlic. It’s sweet, tart, and one-of-a-kind. Cacaoworks takes their black garlic and pairs it with their Madagascar Origin cacao which is also sweet and tart/fruity. It’s a beautiful and unique balance of aromas and ingredients. Goes wonderfully on a charcuterie or cheese board, and pairs very well with a bright fruity red wine.
Ingredients: Cocoa Mass, Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Black Garlic.
Suggested Flavour Notes: Garlic, Balsamic, Sweet, Fruity, Tart.
