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.
Founders
Kürzi Kakao is a family business and was founded by Britta & Martin Kürzi. As foodies, their goal is to offer indulgent and delicious chocolate with a unique twist in a country that is world famous for chocolate.
​
Britta grew up in the USA and has been living in Switzerland since 2017 after moving from Asheville, NC following her marriage to her husband Martin.
Britta's favorite chocolate is the creamy cashew, plain. Martin's favorite chocolate is the caramel blonde with 72% dark chocolate chips and flaky maldon salt. For their daughter Eleanor, it's a tie between every single chocolate she's ever eaten from the factory.
Our Values
Creativity & Joy
Often inspired by our travels around the world, we create a wide variety of unique flavor combinations, so there is something for everyone to enjoy. We hope you enjoy eating our chocolate as much as we enjoy making it!
Best ingredients
We carefully select each ingredient for not only its flavor but also on its impact on our planet and its inhabitants. We make all of our chocolate only using plants.
Made from scratch
We make 100% of our own chocolate from scratch.
This means we retain complete control over every step of the process to ensure the highest quality.
We minimally process our ingredients to ensure you enjoy the most flavor from each ingredient. Minimal processing allows each ingredient to retain as much nutritional value as possible.
