Ah nice. I had made the assumption that this was American based on the name and wrapping. Guess I will give this a try the next time I’m out for some chocolate 🙂.
French fair trade brand with a lot of choice: Éthiquable
Not sure if they export much. The prices in France are reasonable considering cocoa prices make even junk chocolate quite expensive.
Pretty damn good bar of chocolate, actually
Thicker than I expected, some of the chunks they’ve cut (their bars are cut funny on purpose) were too big even for my giant mouth
If I remember right the way the chocolate is cut is to represent the unequal distribution of cocoa profits in the industry.
You’re correct.
"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profts in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."
I really enjoy this chocolate, my only complaints are:
- It says not to chill it - I prefer cold chocolate
- The chocolate is not divided up equally, which for some reason annoys me…
It says not to chill it - I prefer cold chocolate
I tried, and they don’t actually come to take it away if you ignore that and chill it anyway. :)
Thank you for taking the risk. I’ll be chilling it from now on.
I freeze them. Love me some frozen chocolate and haribo gummy bears.
Does it take long for the gummy bears to freeze?
Not really few hours and they’re frozen solid.
