Today I would like to introduce you to a dessert in which our vegan white brittle chocolate is being used. This handmade chocolate is wonderfully creamy and hides a filling of crispy almond brittle and rice flakes inside. This combination is prepared as a fluffy chocolate cream in connection with freshly cooked strawberries is like a dream.

Why is the direct contact with cacao farmers so important to you?Julia: The direct contact with cacao farmers is really important to us because we value quality above all else. After all, cacao is our most important raw material! I want to know how the farmers work, how their life looks like – and to show them our appreciation for their efforts. I think that cacao farmers should see, feel and taste the chocolates made with their own beans and compare them to other origins so they can understand better that their good work really does make a difference in the final chocolate. It’s all about being in this together, we want the farmers to feel ownership, pride and responsibility so they’ll deliver the best cacao they can.

100 % FAIR: Zotter becomes World Fair Trade Organisation partner We are 100% organic and fair trade as well as bean to bar and from this season, we will start to apply our new FAIR hand sign. We become a member of the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO). The WFTO will audit our entire business according to its fair-trade guidelines. 100% fair trade, without mass balance supply chain application, which we think is less than ideal.

60 cents per each Chocolate Banana chocolate bar sold go to our "Chocolate for School" charity, enabling regular school attendance for Peruvian children, who are made to work at brickyards and quarries before they reach secondary school. 

We recently had the opportunity to be featured on TV. First the Holiday Festival of Lights Special, which aired twice on prime time in 12/2016 and then we showed 3 ways how to make Drinking Chocolate in the new Fox4 studio.
