Since Erica and Drew Gilmour opened Hummingbird Chocolate, their chocolate has won more than 100 international awards to date. Their ethical and sustainable bean-to-bar brand is sourced directly from farmers, is better than Fair-Trade prices and is enjoyed by chocolate lovers across Canada.
Hummingbird Chocolate has not only been recognized for their outstanding chocolate but for their business ingenuity, local business collabs and community contributions. Erica divulges the secrets behind their award winning chocolate, where the “Hummingbird” came from, and why branding is so important in chocolate packaging (similarly to our favourite wine labels!)
