DECADENT ORGANIC CHOCOLATE
One delicious bite at a time - each bite of Trade Aid's organic chocolate helps play an essential role in helping cocoa and sugar farmers.
Variety - Trade Aid’s delicious, quality fair trade organic chocolate is available in 5 flavours: milk mocha, dark almond, 70% cocoa, dark orange and dark mint.
Swiss chocolate - Manufactured in Switzerland, this chocolate range uses the finest quality cocoa from Bolivia, The Dominican Republic and Peru with sugar from The Philippines.
Organic and sustainable - The cocoa and sugar is 100% organic certified. This chocolate is also packaged in a recycled paper wrapper.
Not as sweet as it sounds - There is no chocolate without cocoa, and although millions of chocolate bars are sold every day, cocoa farmers are some of the poorest people in the world… Fair trade guarantees producers the income they need to send their kids to school and provides consumers a trusted guarantee that no forced or abusive child labour was used.

grown on cocoa plantations in Cote d’Ivoire, where young children are often tricked or sold into slavery to work - the cause of this problem is poverty Find out more here.
