Deziria Named Utah’s Exporter of the Year 2024 by the U.S. Small Business Administration

We’re thrilled to share some incredible news Deziria Chocolate has been honored as Utah’s Exporter of the Year 2024 by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

This recognition means a lot to us. It’s not just about how far our chocolate travels, but about how a dream that started in Utah has connected with people around the world. From our workshop in the heart of the mountains to shelves and tables across the country — and now beyond every bar carries the same dedication, integrity, and love that inspired Deziria from day one.

Co-founders Oniz Birsoy and Seyhan Bozkurt have always believed that great chocolate transcends borders. This award celebrates not only Deziria’s growth but also Utah’s creative and entrepreneurial spirit — a spirit that continues to inspire small businesses to dream bigger and reach wider.

We’re deeply grateful to the SBA for recognizing our efforts, to our amazing team for their passion and hard work, and to our community and partners who have supported our mission to share Utah’s craftsmanship with the world.

Here’s to building connections through chocolate one bar, one smile, and one country at a time.
