You are what you eat, so when you put that piece of chocolate in your mouth or sip on that fine wine, do you think about the many steps that led you to that moment? As consumers we have power to use our choices to drive the change we want to see in the world, if we demand better we start to see change. To find out more about our product's values (aka "why we love it" on our products), check out our handy guide here. Also check out our blog where we delve into this a bit deeper!

| Plastic free | To this date only 9% of ALL the plastic EVER produced has been recycled. Imagine a product that uses a large amount of energy to extract, produce and then transport is used for a short period and takes break down over 400 years. It is not sustainable, plastic free might seem like small change to make but it has a big impact! Source: UN Plastic |
| Organic | Products labelled “organic” must contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients. This means that those ingredients have been grown using organic agricultural practices free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Some products may have uncertified organic labels, where some of the ingredients are organically sourced. Source: Find out more at the Australian Certified Organic Standard site |
| Bean to Bar |
The chocolate producer sources their own cocoa beans and roasts and grinds them using their own unique methods. This means the chocolatier works directly with the farmer, this equates to less processing and less wasteful energy in the production process. Resulting in a better deal for the farmer and tastier chocolate, better for you and the planet. Source: Red Cocao |
| Preservative Free |
Minimally processed chocolate that is free from preservatives is actually good for you! Just saying... ;) Source: Chocolate: Are There Health Benefits? |
| Fair Trade |
Widespread poverty, deforestation, gender inequality, child labour and forced labour are persistent problems in the cocoa sector. When you choose Fairtrade cocoa and chocolate, you help to put the livelihoods of those farmers back at the (chocolate) heart of the matter. Source: Find out more at Fair Trade International |
