Please support Tony’s Chocolonely- they actively work to make sure that their Cocoa suppliers get a living wage, far more than what virtually any other Cocoa buyers pay.
As a bonus, their chocolate is pretty tasty too!
Oh, Tony’s is European? I’ve been trying to cut it down but you leave me no choice but to keep supporting them…
And they have their own fair sourcing of cocoa with no slave/child labour
I thought that they couldn’t guarantee that, which is why “slave-free” had to be removed from the advertising?
Oh I didn’t know that. I’ll have to read more into it.
I switched from Tony to Claro a while back, as Tony still uses cocoa sources which cause deforestation, which is terrible for the environment.
Please avoid Nutella, Kinder and Ferrero products in general. They are known to source their cacao and nuts from child labour.
Also Nutella is like 2/3 palm oil, which destroys rainforests.
Also, Nutella adapts its recipe for different EU countries. The poorer countries get more sugar %. This was warned about in EU Parliament some time ago but I don’t know if it’s actually been put under control.
Instead of corporate, mass produced chocolates, please consider locally made, small batch chocolates if you truly want to support your chocolate industry. Also, its so much better.
Several years ago my daughter’s school had a trip to a (small, local) chocolate factory.
For part of the trip the children queued up to dip a marshmallow into a vat of chocolate to taste it.
My daughter was one of the first in the queue, ate hers and went to the back of the queue for a second one… I was so proud 😁
Haribo and Chupa Chups now make chocolate?
(BTW +10 respect to Tony’s for actually carrying about the sources of their ingredients).
Yes, double win if you buy Tony’s pro european and anti slavery.
I really don’t like their random chunks and the very big ones with their logo on it. I feel it makes it rather hard to enjoy eating them.
I like their reasoning behind the differently sized chunks ngl. According to text they have printed on the inside of the paper wrapping it’s because in the chocolate industry (and many other places) wealth is also distributed unevenly: a few go grab all the too big chunks (big corpo grabbing everything for themselves) and the last ones (aka the ones who actually harvest the cocoa in this case) will be left with the tiny scraps only.
Now whether that absolutely needs to be put into the size of the pieces is debatable, I tend to have bars for myself so worst case I grab a knife and chop the big ones up. Or just bite them in half.
