FAQ

Ingredients

Are your products organic?

I use chocolate that’s always organic, always fairtrade and always sustainable. That means the Lion’s Mane infused bars and chocolate-only treats are organic. 

Some filled confections use ingredients from organic suppliers and local sources. Others are made with ingredients from local farmers who follow mindful, sustainable practices, even if they aren’t certified organic.

I try to balance my ingredient sourcing to fit my pledge to support the local economy and use sustainable organic ingredients. Ingredients are clearly labelled.

Are your products vegan?

All dark chocolate bars and simple treats are vegan. 

Milk chocolates include milk powder and are not vegan.

Are your products gluten-free?

Yes.

Do your products contain soy?

No.

Yes, chocolate is sourced through a reputable Canadian importer of fair trade products.

Where are your ingredients from?

My chocolate is from a farmers’ community in the Dominican Republic, supported by a Franco-Canadian importer of organic fairtrade products such as nuts, seeds and chocolate. Learn more about UMANO and the great work they do for a better, fairer economy.
