Our Story
ABOUT US
Kürzi Kakao was created in the spare room of a tiny apartment in Zürich, Switzerland from the desire to make creative and indulgent plant-based chocolate varieties that taste amazing. We draw flavor inspiration from our various food experiences both locally and from around the world. What started as a small experiment in the spare room of an apartment in the city has now grown to 100 square meter bean to bar chocolate making facility and a team of 5 passionate people located in the beautiful countryside 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.
