World Consumers' Rights Day

Posted on by factoria

On the occasion of the celebration of the World Consumers' Rights DayOn 15 March, Fair Trade organisations want to stress that transparency in the supply chain is fundamental to avoid subhuman working conditions, child labour exploitation or environmental degradation.

It should also be noted that the Fairtrade seals are currently the only guarantees that ensure compliance with human, labour and environmental rights in the manufacture of products. 

Subhuman conditions

The accident in Tangiers on 8 February, in which 18 women and 8 men died in a clandestine textile workshop, has once again highlighted the subhuman conditions where many of the people who make the products we consume work.

In addition, a report by ILO, UNICEF, OECD and IOM concludes that a significant share of child labour, forced labour and human trafficking takes place in the first links of global supply chains, i.e. in agricultural and commodity extraction activities. 

Findings that confirm the data on child labour: 7 out of 10 children that work worldwide do so in the agriculture. In the cocoa sector alone, more than 2.1 million children in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire work in hazardous work.

The role of Fair Trade organisations in consumer rights

Faced with realities such as these, Fair Trade organisations remind the consuming public that their right to know the traceability of products and to demand transparency from companies about their manufacturing processes at home and abroad. 

On the other hand, they recall that there are alternatives such as Fair Trade, which, through its seals of guarantee, ensures that products have been produced with respect for human, labour and environmental rights. 

There are currently 5 Fairtrade certifications endorsed as such: Fairtrade, Small Producers' Symbol, Fair for life, Naturland and the World Fair Trade Organization label.

Consumption is a political act, by choosing Fair Trade products we become part of the solution to the problem of the poverty and inequality that conventional international trade generates.

How to do a chocolate tasting?

Posted on by factoria

A chocolate tasting can become a fun way to have a good time with your friends, your family or on your own. It mainly consists of tasting chocolate to get to know all its properties, being aware of all the nuances that make it up.

Tasting chocolate means appealing to the senses. That is why it is vital that you do the tasting in a place away from the distractions of noises and smells, where you can relax and concentrate quietly. 

The basic rules for chocolate tasting

Before you start, there are some basic rules to keep in mind that will help you capture all the nuances and properties of each ounce:

Order from least to most cocoa:

Before you start, we advise you to order the chocolates from the lowest to the highest cocoa content. This will help in the perception of flavours, as if you start by tasting the most intense chocolates, the palate will probably become saturated. 

For example, you can start the tasting with our chocolate 60 % with ginger and lemoncontinue with the dark chocolate mascao 85 % and end our organic chocolate 100 % cocoaThey are sure to surprise you!

Do not open the chocolate prematurely:

We recommend open the chocolate shortly before tasting. In this way, you will prevent the aromas from being lost or the chocolate from picking up nearby smells.

The importance of the glass of water:

We suggest have a glass of water available during the chocolate tasting. This way you can cleanse your taste buds to perceive all the nuances.

Ready to go!

Cocoa has the most complex natural flavour, as you can find up to 400 different aromas in a single ounce. Therefore, when tasting chocolate, you should bear in mind that it is an exceptional food and put all your senses into the tasting.

What is your visual perception?

First start by look closely at the chocolate bar. Look to see if it has a shiny or matt appearance, if its surface is smooth or if it is rough or grainy. You should also take into account possible defects, such as white spots or streaks, which are symptoms of poor tempering or conservation. 

Auditory sensation: fundamental:

In the second step, the ear is the protagonist. When you break the chocolate you will hear a snap: if the snap is dry and clean, it means that you are in front of a very good quality chocolate, composed of healthy and very beneficial cocoa butter. At AlterNativa3 we take the ingredients of our chocolates very seriously. That is why they are all made by our cooperatives with high quality cocoa butter.

Pay attention to olfactory sensations:

It's time to smell the chocolate ounce, captures its aromas and all the nuances that make up its flavour.. Each type of bean, also depending on the way it has been treated, offers different aromas. Relax, breathe in slowly and appreciate the different notes of nuts, flowers, vanilla, ginger, orange, etc. In just one ounce of chocolate you can discover many different aromas. In just one ounce of chocolate you can discover many different aromas. Enjoy them!

Finish by analysing the taste sensation:

Now put your taste buds to work. Take a small piece of chocolate, break it with your teeth and let it melt slowly on your palate. At this point your taste buds will pick up a multitude of flavours and nuances.The ingredients used range from the most natural elements to those derived from cocoa roasting. 

Finally, we recommend you to relax and enjoy all the phases of the process. Do you dare to do your own chocolate tasting? At AlterNativa3 we offer you a great variety, you'll love it!

Do you want to learn how to prepare it, read on!

Ingredientes para el pastel de manzana

  • 2 eggs.
  • ⅓ of cup of the panela cane sugar from AlterNativa3.
  • 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil.
  • 90 ml of the vegetable milk of your choice (we recommend using oat, almond or rice milk).
  • Peel of ½ lemon (do not use the whitish part, which is bitter).
  • ¾ cup oat or almond flour (you can grind gluten-free oat flakes or raw almonds directly).
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  • ½ teaspoon chemical-free yeast.
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon.
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg.
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla (powdered, in extract or you can leave it out if you prefer).
  • 1 teaspoon salt.
  • 3 apples cut into crescent-shaped slices.
  • AlterNativa3 icing sugar.

Step by step

  1. Preheat the oven with the two baking sheets to 180º.
  2. We prepare a rectangular mould (type plum cake) and paint the walls with coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil, or use greaseproof paper.
  3. Beat the eggs with the sugar until the volume of the mixture doubles (this is important for the creaminess of the cake). Then add the oil of your choice, the vegetable milk, the vanilla extract (if it is not powdered) and the lemon peel. Mix and leave to stand while we continue with the next step.
  4. Put all the dry ingredients in another bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla powder (if you have chosen this option) and salt. Mix with a fork and add to the ingredients from the previous step. Now leave to rest
  5. Slice the three apples and reserve a few slices for decoration. Add the rest to the mixture and leave to cover completely. Put the mixture into the mould and decorate with the apple slices that we had set aside earlier.
  6. Place in a preheated oven at 180º for 35-40 minutes. Although it may seem raw, it is not! Take it out and finish decorating with the icing sugar, which will caramelise thanks to the heat of the cake itself.
  7. Finally, leave to cool and enjoy!
