Dark Chocolate - Twist Organic, 12 Units / 3.5 oz

• Description

Description:

ALTER ECO Dark Twist Chocolate is delicately prepared with bits of crystallized orange peel—an inspiration from two sources: our commitment to helping small-scale farmers through better buying conditions and our desire for a zesty and delightful recipe crafted by a master chocolatier in Switzerland using a maximum number of Fair Trade and Organic ingredients.

ALTER ECO Dark Twist Chocolate is 100% natural, made with Organic ingredients, and contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners. The small-scale farmers of the El Ceibo cooperative cultivate cocoa crops using traditional farming techniques that produce the finest organic cocoa. The very best cocoa beans are selected and combined with organic unrefined cane sugar to make this deliciously rich bittersweet dark chocolate.

All of our chocolates are Fair Trade Certified™. This means that the farmers who grew the ingredients were paid a better, more stable price for their crops than in conventional trade. In order to help the farmers sell directly, the El Ceibo cooperative has invested, with the help of Alter Eco, in equipment to process and transport their cocoa. By selling on Fair Trade terms, the farmers are able to invest in high-quality production, increase their incomes and improve their living standards. El Ceibo benefits 800 families in the Bolivian Amazon.
