Our Story

Big on flavour, crafted with conscience

Two lawyers, tired of corporate life, fell in love and left their big city jobs to travel to South America. They camped on a cocoa plantation, ate lots of amazing chocolate and an idea sparked!

In 2000 they headed home and set up Montezuma's Chocolates to bring all of the fun and flavours of the chocolate they experienced to the UK.

Handmaking the bars themselves, they became passionate about using not only the best quality but the most ethical cocoa. A kitchen sink sized machine was quickly outgrown and the pair moved to a larger factory in West Sussex with a team ready to conquer the world of chocolate!

Fast forward more than two decades, and we’re still running our West Sussex factory by the sea, whipping up chocolate magic with a splash of seaside charm.

We’re proud to keep our factory free from palm oil, additives, and anything unnatural, so every bar you enjoy is packed with nothing but the good stuff.

Ethics & Sustainability

Save the planet, it's the only one with chocolate!

Our commitment to ethical sourcing means we only use ingredients that meet top-notch standards, certified by Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, Soil Association, and Cocoa Horizons.

Since early 2020, we’ve been on a mission to make sure every piece of Montezuma’s packaging is either recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable. We’re not just talking about a few items—we were the first UK chocolate company to roll out this eco-friendly commitment across our entire range and all our packaging materials.
