Sustainability: Happy Planet, Happy People

We’re passionate about protecting our planet, which is why we’re dedicated to sustainable practices at every stage of our chocolate-making journey. That’s why we’re super proud to be the first chocolate company to go all-in on packaging that’s recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable—yes, all of it! And guess what? Our office, factory, and stores run on 100% renewable energy. We are committed to being zero waste and we’re always looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint. By choosing Montezuma’s, you’re joining us in making the world a tastier, greener place—one bite at a time!

Ingredients: Pure and Simple Goodness

We’re serious about what goes into our chocolate—pure, simple goodness with no artificial colours or flavours. We’re all about amazing taste and saving the planet, which is why we never, ever use palm oil—just pure, delicious chocolate. We’re picky about our ingredients so every bite of Montezuma’s chocolate is extraordinary. It’s all about rich, natural flavors that make your taste buds dance.

At Montezuma’s, our commitment to giving back is as strong as our love for chocolate! Our journey with Children on the Edge (COTE) began over 10 years ago when they asked us to donate Easter eggs for a children’s treasure hunt. Little did we know, that sweet request would kickstart a fantastic partnership. Based in Chichester like us, COTE shares our values and entrepreneurial spirit, working tirelessly to support children living on the edge of society across the globe. Their incredible work makes us proud to be a part of their mission.

We’ve teamed up with Pennies, a micro-donation charity, to make giving easy and impactful.By adding a small donation at checkout, you can help us support Children on The Edge  and make a big difference with just a tiny contribution.Together, we’re making the world a sweeter place, one chocolatey partnership at a time!

Join us in savoring chocolate that’s as good for the planet as it is for your taste buds.

At Montezuma’s, we’re crafting with conscience, ensuring that every delicious bite is a step toward a more sustainable and ethical world. 

Thank you for being part of our journey!

In 2020 we set out on the mammoth task of making sure that all of our packaging was recyclable, biodegradable, compostable. Whilst doing this we thought it would be a great idea to give the brand a big refresh and shake things up!

To this day we are still very proud to have become the first chocolate company to make these eco claims across the whole range. We know that some other companies have done a few products here and there, but we decided to go to town on it, we don’t do anything in halves here! From our bars to our buttons, to our truffles, to our bites and nothing was left out!

As part of the whole recyclability project, we looked at absolutely every aspect of all of our products down to the finest details. We’ve made sure we use recyclable inks which in some cases are even vegetable based. Take a look inside our gift boxes and you won’t find bubble wrap but instead fully recyclable paper based ‘sizzle’.

We can’t forget our delicious truffles! Whether you get a truffle carton or box, the card can very simply be recycled at home. Often these kinds of chocolates have a plastic window to show off the product, but we have got rid of this, so a little bit of imagination is required! Our truffle cartons have a plastic bag inside which is a number one PT and therefore can be recycled.

We’re still using some plastics in our packaging. We’d love to get rid of them all but at the moment, one of the biggest challenges we’ve got is the fact that food needs to be packaged safely – it needs to be food-safe. So, we’ve taken as many steps as we can to get rid of everything but some plastic, we have to use but what we have done is made sure that the plastic is totally recyclable.
