About Montezumas
Montezuma's is an innovative British chocolate brand established in 2000 in West Sussex by husband and wife team Simon and Helen Pattison, who left their legal careers to bring the fun and flavours of their South American chocolate experiences to the UK. Now celebrating 25 years of chocolate-making, the company operates from a seaside factory in Chichester while maintaining their original shop in Brighton's city centre. Sustainability is at the heart of Montezuma's ethos. The factory is completely free from palm oil, additives, and artificial ingredients. Since 2020, they've been the first UK chocolate company to ensure all packaging is either recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable across their entire range. The business runs on 100% renewable energy across offices, factory, and stores. In June 2023, Montezuma's was acquired by Paramount Retail Group while maintaining its commitment to ethical production. The award-winning range includes luxury chocolate bars, botanical truffles, and premium gift selections. Their Dark Hibiscus Truffles won Silver at the Great British Food Awards, with Bronze awards in both Free From and Chocolate categories. Products are available through their shops, online, and UK retailers. For chocolate lovers seeking British-made, eco-conscious luxury without palm oil or artificial ingredients, Montezuma's delivers ethical indulgence with seaside Sussex charm.
