Our Story
ABOUT US
Kürzi Kakao was created in the spare room of an apartment in Zürich, Switzerland from the desire to make creative and indulgent plant-based chocolate varieties inspired by delicious food experiences from around the world. What started as a small experiment in the spare room of an apartment in the city has now moved and expanded into multi-room bean to bar chocolate making facility and a team of 5 passionate chocolate lovers located in the beautiful town of Schindellegi.
Founder
Kürzi Kakao was founded by Britta Kürzi. Both a foodie & plant-based, she strives to offer her unique twist on plant-based chocolate in a country most famous for chocolate.
Britta grew up in the United States and has lived in Switzerland since 2017, when she moved from Asheville, N.C. after marrying her husband Martin. Her favorite chocolate is malted almond with florentine crisps.
