Inspired by the post about Dutch chocolate, I wanted to give Zotter some attention.

They have really funky creations and all their raw materials are ethically sourced

(Thanks to @[email protected] now with English links :โ -โ ))

They have an online shop as well, which seems to practically distribute worldwide

here's the whole website in english: https://www.zotter.at/en

Damn, it looks so good too. I'd have a whole shelf for these, if they shipped to the middle of nowhere ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Ah, thanks!

I looked for a way to set it to English and couldn't find it
(Will try to update the post, thanks again!)

Where do you live?
If you're really interested, we could maybe find a way, where I just send it to you (or privacy respecting: to a pickup station near you)?

I appreciate the sentiment, but i live in the arabian peninsula (not specific for privacy) and since delivering to here is a PITA due to certain religious laws etc i don't think it's worth the pain and money ๐Ÿ˜…

But thank you for the kind offer! I'm sure if i ever visit europe i'll get me one (and a kofola too) lol.

Ah, I see, that's a pity

In an age, where people all around the world can communicate and exchange ideas in seconds, it's still a PITA to actually share locally produced products.

There is so much stuff, I'd like other people to try, that we have here in Austria.
And the other way round, I'd really like to taste my way through the pearls of different kitchens of the world.

Well, hopefully some day either teleportation gets real or we find a way to authentically print food stuff ;โ -โ )

Had those years ago. The marzipan one was my favorite.

I love zotter! The packaging is really pretty and almost makes me just wanna collect those! Amazing chocolate is just a bonus ;)

Might wanna check your local tea-shop - they might have them. I was surprised to find Zotter in a small tea shop in a small town in Finland.

Due to administrative reasons implied by Brexit,ย we no longer ship to the UK.

Fucking brexit

Ah shit, that sucks :โ -โ (

I had a similar problem, although the other way round, when I wanted to import a laptop from the UK.
Was a complete shitshow and I actually cancelled it and went with a Framework - although it was also, because StarLabs just kept postponing a potential delivery for nearly a year. Still, my accountant gave my quite a hard time regarding the tax situation...

Due to administrative reasons implied by EU packaging & packaging waste regulation, we no longer ship to online shop customers in Denmark directly. We recommend to choose from the Zotter assortment offered by piccantino.com

They don't ship to the rest of the EU either. They redirect us to piccantino, maybe you can buy from there too?
