14. What does Direct Trade mean and how is it different from Fair Trade?

Direct Trade simply means that through our relationship with our chocolatier, we work directly with our farmers to assure that we compensate them well (and on time) for their hard work. The Fair-trade model was initially put in place to allow a centralized way of protecting the farmers rights and pay. After digging deep into the fair-trade program, we saw that some of the most pressing problems still exist within this model which include lack of transparency on how the farmers get treated as well as how much and when they get paid. The price we pay therefore, is significantly higher than the market price (Fair Trade price). With that said, we have the utmost respect for the Fair-trade foundation as their mission to continue to work hard towards educating ethical and fair practices for farmers all over the world is vital for the preservation and growth of the cacao industry.

15. How is the Chocolate Best Stored?

Our chocolate should be kept in a cool, shaded place, with a temperature of approx. 62-72 degree. We do not recommend storing the chocolate in the fridge as it tends to lose it’s unique natural flavours. As a reminder, we do not use any preservatives or emulsifiers therefore we recommend consuming the chocolate bars within a few weeks of purchase date.
