‘Jay-seck’

Jacqueline Jacek is the world’s first Cocoanista; a fusion between a Fashionista & a Chocolatier. A Cocoanista applies the principles of haute couture in the creation of artisan chocolates. These principles include expression through shape & colour (and the additional dimension of flavour in chocolate), intricate construction, innovative technique and the use of the highest quality components to create truly exceptional works of art.

Yes. JACEK Chocolate Couture only sources chocolate from the best chocolate makers around the world (Valrhona & Cacao Barry) who are committed to empowering cacao farmers to improve their incomes, who are active in supporting industry programs that aim at eradicating abusive child labor, and who have ecological sustainability in mind.

We are particularly proud of having our own Bean-to-Bar line where we ethically source cocoa beans directly from the farmers and make our own chocolate. Check out our latest video from our visit to the farms and fermentation centre in the Dominican Republic and see for yourself the joyful journey of how we make chocolate from the bean to the bar at JACEK.

Donations

At JACEK Chocolate Couture, we are committed to supporting our community as best we can by way of chocolate donations. However, as a small business, we cannot support every request that we receive based on the volume of requests that we receive every week. Our focus for donations is on causes that help children. We will accept requests for donations by email only to general@jacekchocolate.com. Due to the high volume of requests, we will only respond to those charities that we are able to support. If you do not hear from us within 2 weeks, we were unable to make a donation to your charity at this time.

Shipping
At this time, we can only ship orders to addresses located within Canada.
Please note that we only ship Monday – Thursday in order to avoid long storage periods at the logistics centres.
To ensure freshness of our hand-crafted chocolates, we offer shipping with Canada Post and FedEx.

The shipping rate is dependent on the shipping destination and the delivery speed (you can choose between Standard, Express, or Overnight shipping services).

Enjoy free standard shipping with Canada Post on your purchase of $125 or more (excl. destinations in NT, YT, NU, NL, PE, NS, NB).

By completing your order you acknowledge that once a package leaves our facility in Sherwood Park, we take no responsibility for any package delays as we have no control on potential delivery issues. Should your package arrive after the carrier’s guaranteed delivery date, please contact us and we can initiate a refund for the shipping charges. Refunds will only be issued once a claim has been accepted by the carrier.

WONDERING WHAT OUR SHIPPING BOXES LOOK LIKE?

We sent some treats to our friends from Flatter:Me Belts, here’s a little snippet of their experience:

Yes, we do. Please have a look at our vegan chocolate product line in our Online Shop.

We are making continuous effort of reducing the number of products that contain gluten. The majority of our products do not contain gluten in the recipe and our kitchen team takes great care of cleaning the working surfaces and tools after using allergens.

That being said, we are not a certified gluten-free facility and there may be a risk of cross-contamination.

These are the products that do have gluten in the recipe: The Marilyn, Biscuit & Chocolate Pearls.

The same applies to tree nuts. You will find them in The Audrey, The James, Dark Chocolate Almonds, Hazelnut Meltaways, Artisan Bar Library.
You will find peanuts in the PB&J truffle from our Spring Collection 2019.
