What about allergies?
Unfortunately we can't guarantee that anything we make is 100% free from gluten or nuts (tree nuts and peanuts), because we either handle these in our bakery where all our chocolate is made, or some of our suppliers handle those allergens in their processes. Everything we make is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
How eco-friendly is your packaging?
Bars - the inner wrapper and the outer wrappers are recyclable as paper / cardboard. Hot Chocolate - pouches are recyclable
What do you mean by "ethically-sourced" on your packaging?
We source cacao beans and sugar from organic certified farms (or those in the process of certification) which follow practices which are kinder to wildlife, soil health and farmer health. We only source from farmer cooperatives and responsible estates where farmers are typically paid 10% over the organic fairtrade price for their crop. In addition, these cooperatives and estates provide grower benefits in the form of seedbanks, farming training (for example, how to increase yields without use of fertilisers and pesticides) and health services (like visiting dentists and schools) for farmers and their families.
So does that mean you're organic certified?
No, we were organic certified for 7 years and found the fees and admin a huge burden for such a small company as ours. This means we can't claim our chocolate is organic (even if all the ingredients for almost all our bars and hot chocolate are organic) as the they have not been made in an organic-audited premises.
Do you use palm oil in your chocolate?
No, we're a palm-oil free bakery
