If you asked us 15 years ago if we thought Ontario was a gourmet-chocolate destination, we’d probably laugh; but all across the province, master chocolatiers are opening up boutique shops with truffles, bars and confections that have always wanting more. These small-batch artisans are committed to quality and their craft and for the first time, most are making their products available online.
Here are six Ontario artisan chocolate makers we love – all only a click away!

Angela Roest — Award-Winning Chocolatier and owner of Centre & Main, loves marrying local flavours with the best ethically-sourced chocolate from across the world. Each bar is a thoughtfully designed work of art. We love the Strawberry Rhubarb Saffron Bar made with True Saffron (grown outside of Warkworth!); and the Blackcurrant bar made with Popham Lane Farm currants.

SOMA CHOCOLATEMAKER
443 King Street West, Toronto, ON

The team at SOMA have been making small batch, bean to bar chocolate in Toronto since 2003. What started as a small shop in the Distillery District has grown to three locations and plenty of chocolate offerings – including a Mexican Hot Chocolate drink that we literally can’t stop thinking about. For those looking to gift their sweet creations, we highly recommend the trying the Gianduja trio – their love story to nuts – and available until Valentines Day.

Michèle Bowman – owner of Sweetness Chocolate – is a chocolate maker and lover of all things sweet. We love her Roasted White & Sea Salt creation. It’s 40% white chocolate, gently roasted at low temperatures until the milk solids are caramelized and infused with vanilla and a touch of sea salt.
