Rarely am I jealous of omnivores. That is until it comes to sweets. Milk chocolate, fudge, pecan praline ice cream with it’s familiar amber-colored swirls. My palette evolved, I transitioned into a vegan diet and out went the milk chocolate.

Enter C Salt Gourmet; artisan, hand-crafted, refined, sea salt dusted cocoa sweets.

Proprietor and chief chocolatier, Courtney Dudman Donley, launched C Salt Gourmet on Valentine’s Day, 2008 at the behest of upscale Promelis Westcliff Market owner in Newport Beach, CA. From brittle to truffles to vegan pistachio cherry (wink) confections all are ‘Hand-made with love by Courtney.’

As if she wasn’t kick ass enough, Courtney is committed to helping build a new world where the earth and its inhabitants are treated justly. C Salt Gourmet uses organic, fair-trade ingredients.

Visit Courtney at the C Salt Gourmet booth this Sunday, June 27 at the Patchwork Indie Arts & Crafts Festival in Long Beach, CA. C Salt Gourmet is exclusively sold at uber hip vintage shop Fancy Disaster in Long Beach.
