Did you know that...?
Do you know where your cocoa comes from?
With fair trade you not only enjoy high quality cocoa, you also know who grows it and under what conditions. The traceability is essential: behind every grain there are producing families who receive a fair price and work in a sustainable way to protect their farms and their territory.
The cocoa we use in this recipe comes from Conacado, a cooperative in the Dominican Republic that brings together more than 9,000 cocoa-growing families. Their community organisation promotes better incomes, training and projects that strengthen rural communities. Get to know them here.
Always look for certifications such as Fairtrade to make sure that your purchasing decisions generate a real and positive impact.
