ChocoSol Traders and Chocolatiers

A learning community, social enterprise flourishing between the Toronto Slow food community and indigenous cacao growers in southern Mexico, or Mexico Profundo.

Local food focus is an essential part of ChocoSol’s constitution and reputation. We have created local food fusions and encouraged the local farming of trans-local foods such as heirloom corn varieties for our traditional nixtamalized maize tortillas.

Our stone-ground chocolates are paired with locally and sustainably grown foods such as hempseed from Peterborough, mint grown in urban agriculture community plots and a whole variety of medicinal herbs to pair with our chocolate foods.

As a learning community firstly, we encourage the learning opportunities provided by great food and great hospitality. We work with the willing to celebrate through our dignified work an alternative food movement which strives to provide good food and food solidarity for all.
