Made from the finest organic fair trade cocoa beans. USDA Organic. Suitable for vegetarians. Our organic cocoa is made with the finest organic cocoa beans, grown in the shade of rainforest trees. We buy our Fair Trade Certified cocoa direct from the farmers, paying them a higher price than they would receive for conventional cocoa. The beans are harvested at the perfect point of ripeness, then carefully fermented and dried to maximize the smooth, complex flavors of this delicious cocoa. The wonderful chocolate aromas in our cocoa make it ideal for baking cakes and desserts, and of course as a traditional hot drink. Green & Black's is certified by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). Made on a peanut free site. Made in Italy & packed in England.
