Chocolala fair trade chocolates
It’s always nice to see another ethical brand come onto the market. Chocolala make fresh fair trade chocolates with no added sugar or preservatives. I am not personally a lover of chocolate, give me some fresh organic fruit any day, but even I could be persuaded to try some of these chocolates. It’s not just that they are fair trade, or that they do not contain any added sugar or preservatives, or that they are hand made, it’s that they look so scrummy!
The chocolates are made using fair trade, local and organic products wherever possible. The company carries the Fairtrade mark so you can be sure of their ethics. The price reflects not only the quality of the chocolates, but the price paid to the suppliers to ensure decent working and living conditions for all the workers. It’s worth buying the chocolates just to support the workers!
We're delighted to be mentioned here, but thought it would be helpful to clarify things on the sugar front.
The chocolate we use comes with a fairly standard level of (fairtrade) sugar in it... we reckon that's more than enough, so we try not to add more to any of our recipes. We do have to use a bit of sugar in making our own lemon curd (a crucial component in our lala lemon chocolate), but we don't make anything like 'fondants' which are basically sugar with a bit of flavouring. In fact, the main ingredient of all of our fillings is... err, chocolate.
Hope that helps,
Nick @ chocolala
