The Angry Gorilla dark
Organic
Togo
The angry gorilla is our symbol for more justice in the cocoa industry. The cocoa for our gorilla comes from gebana Togo. The family-run company Stella Bernrain processes it for us in Switzerland. Vegan dark chocolate with 71 per cent cocoa content, the gorilla weighs 100 grams.
Please note:
Gorillas may have a so-called fat bloom, which makes their surface appear matte. This has no effect on their taste, but they longer look as good as they otherwise would. That is why we are offering them to you at a reduced price.

Background
Chocolate has a problem
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, 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!
