Each 2.5 oz bar is crafted with 70% dark chocolate, paired with sustainably harvested ingredients from the Amazon rainforest, including Brazil nuts, quinoa, coconut, amaranth, and golden berries. This unique combination not only enhances the flavor but also provides a healthy and natural snacking option.
Our Organic Chocolate Bar is USDA Certified Organic and Fair Trade, ensuring that every bite you take is not only delicious but also ethically sourced. By choosing organic, you are supporting sustainable farming practices that protect the environment and promote biodiversity. The 70% dark chocolate used in our bars is rich in antioxidants and offers a deep, satisfying flavor that chocolate lovers crave.
The inclusion of Brazil nuts, quinoa, coconut, amaranth, and golden berries not only adds unique flavors but also boosts the nutritional profile of our chocolate bars. Brazil nuts are known for their high selenium content, which is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system. Quinoa is a complete protein, making it an excellent choice for those seeking plant-based nutrition. Coconut adds a tropical twist, while amaranth and golden berries provide additional vitamins and minerals.
Our chocolate bars are harvested by hand and imported through fair trade practices from Peru. This means that the farmers who grow and harvest these ingredients are compensated fairly for their hard work. Candela Peru, the organization behind our chocolate, has been dedicated to improving the livelihoods of farmers in the Madre de Dios region of Peru since 1989. By supporting local farmers, we help create sustainable jobs and promote forest conservation in one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet.
Candela Peru works with 266 farmers in the Amazon rainforest, helping them to harvest Brazil nuts in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The organization not only provides steady work for rural families but also assists small producers in streamlining their production processes. This support enables farmers to increase their capacity and implement social and environmental projects in their communities, ultimately improving their quality of life.
In 2001, Candela Peru developed an Organic Certification program to include Peruvian Brazil nuts in the growing organic market. This initiative helps local producers obtain their organic certification, allowing them to access new markets and increase their income. Additionally, Candela Peru hosts classes in forest management, educating farmers on sustainable forestry practices that can lead to financial rewards while preserving the environment.
Our Organic Chocolate Bar is not just a treat; it's a step towards a more sustainable future. By choosing our chocolate, you are making a conscious decision to support ethical sourcing, rainforest conservation, and the well-being of local communities. Enjoy the rich flavors and feel good about your snack choice!
