The Compass Chocolates Story
A Note From Priya Winsor, Founder and Chocolatier
Our story begins in Newfoundland, where I grew up in a family that immigrated from India. Experiencing flavours from both my Indian heritage and Atlantic home taught me that food can cross borders, spark conversation, and bring people together. That connection, best experienced around a table, became the foundation of Compass Chocolates.
What started as curiosity evolved into a lifelong passion for crafting chocolate that tells a story. Every bar and bonbon we make is inspired by travel, memory, and a deep respect for the people and places behind each ingredient.
From the vibrant spice stalls of India to the calming tea fields of Kyoto, our chocolates celebrate global flavours while honouring the artistry of traditional chocolate making. Each creation is thoughtfully balanced to offer a rich, unforgettable tasting experience that sparks interest and invites you to explore. To us, chocolate is more than just a sweet indulgence — it’s a journey — a story of flavour, culture, and connection.
