About Qantu
Qantu is a Montreal chocolate maker founded in 2016. It works bean to bar, which means it makes its chocolate from the cacao bean onward, using Peruvian cacao from Alto El Sol.
Its bars suit people who like to taste chocolate slowly and notice where it comes from, a bit like wine. A bar or two makes an easy hostess gift or a treat for Valentine's Day. Try a square with a coffee or a glass of red wine. It is a small Montreal workshop that links a single cacao origin with local chocolate lovers.
