• At Tekimel, we are deeply passionate about our quest for a smarter chocolate that is 100% organic and gluten-free, featuring a high cacao percentage and filled with meaningful, nutritious natural and ancestral ingredients, but we are also interested in other dimensions of life.

  • Instead of planning a large manufacturing plant in an area of cheap labor then shipping across the planet, we prefer to prioritize our carbon footprint and people over profits. We choose to operate two small locations in Switzerland and Mexico, enabling us to optimize working and living conditions as well as sourcing, fabrication and our international shipping footprint. With help from the sun, our solar panels are also a great addition and provide us with renewable energy. Packagings also matter.
