Organic Chocolate Suppliers
Below is an exhaustive – but by no means all-inclusive – list of fair trade and organic chocolate suppliers. Companies that either directly support the communities of their cacao farmers or offer chocolate that is both organic and fair trade are denoted in bold. In addition to organic chocolate, also look for organic cocoa, organic chocolate flavor extracts, organic cocoa butter, Fair Trade chocolate, Kosher chocolate, vegan chocolate and raw chocolate nibs and beans. This list will be updated periodically, but if you notice any errors or know of a company that belongs on this list, e-mail Green Promise at resources@greenpromise.com. Eat responsibly!
