Pure Lovin’ Chocolate is an artisan chocolate company located in Victoria, BC. We were inspired to create unique and delicious treats you can’t find anywhere else, without the common allergens that make it difficult for many people to enjoy the simple delight of high quality chocolate, so we keep all of our products vegan, gluten free, soy free, and free of artificial flavours and colours. Every one of our delicious treats are made in-house by hand, crafted by combining fair trade chocolate, and organic and natural ingredients. Our one of a kind selections of artisan chocolates are not to be missed!

- Pure Lovin’ Chocolate was imagined, created and is now operated by a mother (Cyndy) and daughter (Leah) team. Leah fell in love with cooking at an early age, while helping Cyndy create delicious, healthy meals in the kitchen of their log home in rural BC. This is also where Cyndy taught her the art of confectionery: making Sponge Toffee, Brittle, Caramel and other treats for special occasions. Their collections are hand-made with the most important ingredient of all – love!

The process was painless – they took care of delivery and gift cards across Canada – and everyone who received a gift set raved about it. Thanks Pure Lovin’ Chocolate for making me look great!”
- I love you you, ladies! You made my vegan wedding absolutely amazing. The chocolate-coated “honeycomb” was pretty much the best thing I’ve ever tasted.”

About Jorge
While pursuing a poli-sci degree, Jorge (pronounced ‘Hor-he’) was inspired to start his own business. What better motivation than to share the recipes that his grandmother developed for his celiac father. CHURROS & MOR was born!
Yes! Celiac Disease and the gluten-free diet literally run through Jorge’s veins. His niece in England also shares the diagnosis. Her family has chosen a vegan lifestyle, so Jorge knows first hand how challenging it is to find delicious gluten-free AND vegan delicacies!
