About El Gato Chocolates

El Gato Chocolates delivers the vibrant soul of Peru’s Amazon in every bite. Founded by Gabriela Vasquez, a Peruvian entrepreneur driven by her love for fine chocolate, art, and biodiversity, the brand was born from a simple ritual—bringing organic chocolate from her hometown in San Martín to family and friends abroad. What began as a passion quickly grew into a mission: to share Peru’s cacao heritage with the world while uplifting the communities that cultivate it. With the support of her business partner in Peru, husband, and a circle of talented friends, Gabriela transformed her vision into a thriving bean‑to‑bar company offering 10 exquisite organic chocolate bars, each crafted with natural ingredients and cacao sourced directly from native farmers in the Amazon rainforest. El Gato Chocolates proudly donates 10% of net profits to the Andean Cat Alliance and the Peruvian Desert Cat Project, helping protect two of Peru’s most endangered wild cats. When you carry El Gato, you offer your customers exceptional chocolate—and you join a movement that celebrates culture, conservation, and craftsmanship. Read their story
