The Angry Gorilla dark
Organic
Togo
The Angry Gorilla is our symbol for more fairness in the cocoa trade. The family-run business Stella Bernrain processes the cocoa for us in Switzerland. Vegan dark chocolate with 71% cocoa content, the gorilla weighs 100 grams.
Use & preparation
Most people who produce cocoa don't earn enough to live on. They lack access to clean drinking water, medical care and education. To escape poverty, family farmers in the cocoa-growing regions of West Africa try everything they can to increase their yields. They clear woodland to create more arable land or use highly toxic pesticides. Some also put their children to work in the fields because they can't afford to hire harvest workers.
It can't go on like this! Find out here what we at gebana are doing to make chocolate fairer.
