MORE THAN JUST CHOCOLATE, AN EXPERIENCE!

 

At MW Chocolates we believe that chocolate is our passion, but also an art.

  
We are driven to create a delicious experience that goes beyond design and packaging. Our goal is to create a remarkable experience.

To achieve that, we use only the finest ingredients and choose local suppliers whenever possible.

First and foremost our focus is on quality.

Our chocolates are made with traceable cocoa beans - 100% sustainable, and we strongly believe as a business that we should pursue all times minimizing the environmental, social, and economic impacts associated with our operations.

MW Chocolates is a family-owned company and locally operated.

 

MARINA WOLFF CHOCOLATIER FOUNDER

 

 Our founder, Marina Wolff, was born and raised in Brazil. Her mom and dad are great cooks that value quality time around the table with the family enjoying great homemade food. 


Her family environment played a significant role in directly or indirectly influencing her to start selling handcrafted chocolates in 2013 after her son was born as a hobby, and side hustle.

That quickly evolved from a hobby to a passion that just grew with time and made her pursue continuous practice, education, and refined technique as a chocolatier learning with different renowned chocolatiers around the globe. 

Fast-forwarding to August of 2019, Marina and her family moved to Canada as immigrants, more specifically to Edmonton, AB where they had Canadian relatives that helped them rapidly embrace the culture.

The year after, they moved to the Elk Valley (Sparwood, BC) because her spouse was hired by a mining company. At this stage, Marina understood that was time to do a 'jump' and pursue her dreams.

She made the bold move as an immigrant woman entrepreneur to open her shop in the middle of a pandemic.

That was the beginning of Marina Wolff Chocolatier or MW Chocolates. Since then, the store has been a huge hit. According to Marina, delivering a top-notch product that makes people's day happier has been a privilege.

As soon as the store closes, Marina starts to plan for the next day of production. So far it has been a one-woman show that is ready to make her products accessible to more people with the help of talented people that share intrinsic values.

From the very beginning, Marina Wolff Chocolatier has been a genuine labour of art and passion.

Each batch, each bite, is unique.

Ultimately, it results in enjoying the moment, with colour and flavour.
