Cocoa Sustainability
We are committed to cocoa sourcing
We are committed to cocoa sourcing to benefit cocoa farmers and to protect the rainforest where cocoa grows. That is why our proprietary couverture chocolate is made using Rainforest Alliance Certified™ cocoa and cocoa butter, both of which are fully traceable. Other chocolate companies may say on their labels or in their marketing that their chocolate is made using sustainable cocoa, but what about the cocoa butter? What greater good is really being served when only a portion of the cocoa ingredients are sustainably sourced? It's less bad, but not 100% good.
We’ve compiled the most-asked questions about cocoa sustainability in two places:
1. Our FAQ page - short answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.
2. Our Cocoa Sustainability page - a more in-depth exploration of the complex issues surrounding cocoa sustainability.
3. Our Blog - many customers are asking questions about cadmium and lead in chocolate.
If you have any questions or want a deeper conversation, please contact us.
Does sustainable chocolate taste better?
We think it does, and maybe it feels better too. Buying chocolates made with Rainforest Alliance Certified™ cocoa and cocoa butter helps drive positive change in West Africa, where almost 70% of the world’s cocoa supply is grown by farmers, mostly women, who face many labour, economic, and environmental challenges.
