A few weeks ago I stumbled across a chocolate called DEVINE… it had beautiful wrapping paper which is absolutely the reason I bought it in the first place BUT surprise, surprise mes amigos, the chocolate itself was absolutely delicious.
Naturally, because of my specialist interest in the subject, I researched it. And it turns out that this chocolate is not only delicious, but very, very ethical!!!! It’s sourced in Ghana and not only are the cacao bean growers (most of them women) paid fair trade prices, but they’re all shareholders in the company - not only ethical but very, very feelgood. It’s done wonders for female empowerment in the area and brought in money for medicine, water and education. I’ve been reading a lot about it and I just thought what a wonderful thing Divine are doing – changing the lives of women who had lived in appalling poverty while bringing delicious chocolate to the likes of us in the developed world. I mean, what’s not to love about this? It’s a win-win for everyone. (If you’d like to read more, you could look on www.divinechocolate.com.) Molly Stones in the city has it and here’s a list of other places in CA. J
