About the Business
Dionisia Chocolate makes a variety of Chocolate products directly from the Cacao Beans, primarily focusing on single origin chocolate bars and traditional Colombian hot chocolate.
The majority of our Cacao comes from what is known as direct trade, that is building relationships with the farmers and buying directly from them.
Our Chocolate bars have won multiple international awards, including Bronze at the world finals of the International Chocolate Awards
Laura Sandoval Merchan
Laura grew up in the mountains of Colombia, where chocolate was a daily part of her life. Her rural upbringing meant more often making many foods from scratch instead of buying prepared products – this included chocolate. Some of her fondest memories are of her Grandmother Dionisia roasting, grinding and forming chocolate for the family.
When Laura moved to Canada in 2019, she quickly began to miss the quality of the chocolate she had available in her native Colombia. This started her down the path of making chocolate for herself and family here in Canada.
In 2021 the idea for Dionisia Chocolate was born, and Laura and her husband began working together to perfect the art of the chocolate bar and source high quality ingredients from Colombia and beyond.
