About Terra Nostra Organic

Imagine organic ingredients and passionate indulgence combined in a perfect recipe; imagine blending a century of family technique with modern technology to produce intense explosions of flavor in a steady stream of innovative products; imagine mmm-inspiring organic chocolate. This is Terra Nostra.

Karlo Flores, a Vancouver, British Columbia producer of organic chocolates, founded Terra Nostra Organic in 1998. Karlo is the youngest of a line of chocolate makers that spans five generations and two countries, Mexico and Canada. When Karlo’s son Marko was born, he realized he wanted to make the world a better place by offering ethically grown, international organic chocolate. The birth of his second child Natasha reinforced his commitment.

Terra Nostra is known in the industry for its magnificent taste, silky texture and consistent quality.  Karlo continues to challenge himself as an innovator in the chocolate making market and improves techniques that result in flavor experiences that truly bring magic to your palette.

Terra Nostra works with suppliers from around the world, selecting premium cocoa profiles, such as raw chocolate production in Belgium and Switzerland. Terra Nostra manufactures in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. Karlo’s chocolate formulas are mastered through close consultations with scientists and technicians ensuring the best possible results through the most contemporary resources available in the market.

Terra Nostra chocolates currently outsell all other organic chocolate in the United States. Karlo is a no-nonsense entrepreneur, a dedicated chocolatier. He is also an active member of the global chocolate community through a unique form of social giving called Equi-Trade. Equi-Trade will provide funding from the parent company. This funding will be through economic growth projects throughout the world. These projects are in areas where Terra Nostra’s raw materials are sourced and in the regions where Terra Nostra’s chocolate creations are consumed and enjoyed.
