Taking you back to the roots of cocoa, she wants to share how to buy and enjoy the most ethical sustainable and delectable chocolate.
The Chocolate Detective holds itself to the highest sourcing and production standards.
In working with cocoa farmers in Grenada and highlighting sustainable chocolate made at grass roots level “Tree to Bar”, they strive to keep value in local economies.
The chocolate eggs are made from this cacao (their house couverture is bean to bar) so there is clear provenance, traceability and good working practices which avoid child labor or deforestation. They are committed to protecting the local people and the environment and they are certified by the Rainforest Alliance.
They use the Direct Trade model which is even better as they produce their own chocolate from the beans and it’s 100% traceable.
