Biography
Jacqueline Jacek created the concept of ‘Cocoanista', when she couldn’t decide whether to become a fashion designer or a chocolatier - so she combined the two to create her dream job. Like fashion, JACEK launched seasonal collections that are a treat to the eyes and the taste buds. All products are crafted using ethically sourced chocolate, including a line of bean-to-bar chocolate made in-house, using cacao sourced from Peru, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. Though they are committed to innovation, artistry, and the best ingredients, their quest is ultimately to spread joy through fine, fashionable chocolate. JACEK is headquartered in Sherwood Park, Alberta, with one partner location in Canmore and forty wholesale partners across Canada. Jacek has been chosen at one of the Top 10 Chocolatiers in North America by Dessert Professional Magazine in NYC (2011), the Don Neil Young Entrepreneur of the Year (2011), Strathcona County Business of the Year (2014), Global Woman of Vision (2015), a recipient of the Leaders award by Business in Edmonton Magazine (2015) & Avenue Edmonton’s Top Chocolatier two years in a row (2016 & 2017). In 2018 & 2019, the JACEK Fabric (bean-to-bar) collection has won medals in the International Chocolate Awards for the Americas.
