Queer, Latinx, Feminist Chocolate Makers working with organic ancestral cacao grown in what is now Mexico. Cacao is our medium.
Fortuna was born on a bicycle in the streets of Tokyo and at a long wooden table in the Danish countryside. It was born on the beaches of the Pacific Ocean and in the forests of the Rocky Mountains. Witness to our story and elder, we sit at the feet of its wisdom. Bloodied by human hands and talisman of our ceremonies, cacao is already answering our questions.

Remember when we served hot drinking chocolate? It is super easy to make for yourself at home! Simply melt any of our Mordiscos in a cup of hot liquid - think hot oat milk, organic whole milk, even hot water! Perfect as the weather is starting to turn cold in our part of the world.

Next we worked deeply to identify partners to offer our a radical profit shift. We spent time considering our location, position and privilege. The process led us to land, family and gender rights.

Last year instead of taking the sage advice from our very cool media consultant friends, I wondered if there was a way to achieve my professional goals of reaching out to our community with Fortuna and giving our money to organizations we admired and with whom our investment had an impact.
