Jacqueline Jacek

JACEK Chocolate Couture

Edmonton

People don’t disagree with Jacqueline Jacek when she says that she has one of the best jobs in the world as a ‘Cocoanista’- a chocolate designer. The concept was created when she couldn’t decide whether to become a fashion designer or a chocolatier, so combined the two to create her dream job. Like fashion, JACEK launched seasonal collections to that are a treat to the eyes and the taste buds, and has recently launched the Fabric Collection which is their inaugural bean-to-bar collection. JACEK Chocolate Couture was started late in 2009 in a basement in Sherwood Park, and now includes a production facility, three retail boutiques, and an online store. Although they are committed to innovation, artistry and the best ingredients, their quest is actually to spread joy through fine, fashionable chocolate.

Jacqueline 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 (2016).
