Smoked Vegan Chocolates

The Zimt Maple Smoked Salt and Rosemary Cacao Bars are Raw and Vegan

— September 9, 2016 — Lifestyle
Zimt is a vegan and raw chocolate brand that utilizes plant-based ingredients to create sweet cacao bars with unique flavor combinations, such as this Maple Smoked Salt & Rosemary variety that blends herbal and savory aromas. The chocolate is inspired by Thanksgiving dinner and utilizes high-grade food ingredients to create a guilt-free sweet for consumers to enjoy.

Since vegans and many vegetarians attempt to avoid animal products, many chocolates with milk ingredients are a no-go. Zimt uses only raw products in its chocolates and sources 80% cacao as a plant-based alternative. The Maple Smoked Salt & Rosemary variety is herbal and savory paired with the sweetness sourced from coconut sugar and the cacao.

The chocolate also includes salt sourced from Canada.
