Being Fairtrade means that Cocoa Loco pay a fair price for their cocoa beans from small-scale cocoa farmers in the Dominican Republic. Fairtrade supports these farmers by ensuring that schools are built and poorer families are supported with scholarships.
Cocoa Loco are certified organic by The Soil Association which means they have demonstrated that their products have met the highest of standards of organic manufacturing and production, storage and sales. Organic means working with nature, rather than against it. The chocolate has been produced using fewer pesticides, no artificial additives, preservatives or GM ingredients whilst adhering to the highest standards of animal welfare. Cocoa is one of the most heavily sprayed crops, which is why we (and Cocoa Loco) believe that all chocolate should be organic.
