Burnt Sugar fudge is no apprentice when it comes to fairtrade
The Daily Telegraph has commented that Burnt Sugar could do for the sweet market what Green & Blacks have done for chocolate. The ethical fudge manufacturer went fairtrade by sourcing sugar, their main ingredient, from a Fairtrade certified co-operative in West Kenya. There’s no armchair ethics for Burnt Sugar’s owner Justine Cather, who visited the cooperative in Kenya for herself last January. The Yorkshire based company was started in 1999, and recently featured on TV’s ‘The Apprentice’. Justine showed the latest recruits how to make Burnt Sugar’s award-winning crumbly fudge.
You can get your hands on a 225g tub of their crumbly fudge from Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Harvey Nichols, and from this months it will be in Tescos. If that takes too much away from your fudge fantasy you can order online at chocolategourmet.co.uk
