Zazubean Organic Chocolates

About the Company

Our Zazubean adventure started on a pedal-powered excursion of a group of women to an island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. Funny enough, the entire group managed to pack their fave chocolate to keep their energies and spirits high for the demanding journey! A conversation sparked surrounding quality chocolate, including a prevalent question: Could a chocolate out there swear by ethical standards, and be both healthy and crazy yummy? After returning home from the cycling expedition, Tiz — Zazubean co-founder — inspired by the quest, began formulating an amazing high-quality chocolate with super powered ingredients. As a physiologist, Tiz was interested in pushing the boundaries of traditional chocolate to develop nutritionally dense recipes that support an active balanced lifestyle. Tara, fellow co-founder & serious chocophile, joined forces with her passion for social justice and expertise in sustainable business development to bring Zazubean to life! This powerhouse team had the perfect balance to create their uncompromisingly delicious, fairly traded, organic chocolate bars that are good for the planet, good for the growers and good for you!

Company Self-Evaluation

All of our products are 100% Organic with clean and high quality ingredients. We put superfoods in some of our bars to enhance the health benefits of the chocolate, we use lower glycemic sugars in our Coconut sugar and Slinky line and most of our bars have a higher % cocoa to give you the health benefits of dark chocolate. We are extremely committed to ethical practices, all of our chocolates are Fair-trade certified and we specifically chose Fair-for life as our certifier because FFL requires 100% traceability from the grower to the manufacturer, no mass balance is allowed, annual audits are required and 80% of your ingredients must be certified fair-trade to have the FFL logo on the front. This certification practice means no child labour in their grower groups and the fair price and premium help the growers invest back into their communities. Otherwise farming cacao or sugar would be a very impoverished pursuit.

We are produced in Switzerland and source many of our ingredients from all over the world. We are committed to creating healthy, sustainable and ethical products. The packaging of our chocolate is 100% recyclable. Our mission is Good for the Growers, Good for the Planet & Good for you. We are further committed to sustainable practices by becoming a carbon neutral brand and offsetting the CO2 emissions by planting trees.

Our manufacturer in Switzerland is certified GMP (Good Manufacturing practices) company. They also supply a mortgage program for their employees Our commitment to Fair-trade, ensures no child labour is used to grown and of our ingredients used as we buy our ingredients from small scale, farmer-owned fair-trade cooperatives. Look for the FFL logo, as it provides 100% transparency with annual audits of the growers and the manufacturers rating not only the condition of the farms, but the companies employee standards and humanitarian efforts.

90% of our products are Vegan. We do not use any animal products in most of our bars. We have 2 Chocolate bars that use Grass fed milk from Sustainable farming in the alpine valleys Switzerland. The dairy is Organic certified and our Cows graze outside on pasture on most days of the years This sustainable dairy farming does reduce the carbon footprint and water consumption. As owners of Zazubean, we love our dogs and love animals enjoying both mostly a plant based diet

Paying the premiums for our Cocoa beans, Cocoa butter, sugar and vanilla in these impoverished countries gives more power in the hands of cocoa farmers, to invest in their businesses, grow their incomes, and build better lives for their families and communities.
