Divine Chocolate Introduces New Organic High Cocoa
\nRich & Dark Range Featuring Fabulous Feelgood Flavours And Cocoa From S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9, West Africa<\/h4>\n

Divine Chocolate, the international Fairtrade company co-owned by farmers, introduces its first ever organic dark chocolate range. The new range is made with acclaimed high quality cocoa sourced from smallholder farmers in S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 aka \u2018The Chocolate Island\u2019.\u00a0 Divine Chocolate, a brand already known for its use of innovative flavours, has produced four 80g high intensity flavour combinations and one matchless 95% plain dark bar for chocolate pioneers. Flavour combinations include ginger and turmeric, refreshing lemon, and blueberry and popped quinoa. The focus here being on more healthful and unique treats for chocolate lovers. The new range, which is certified organic and Fairtrade, and 100% vegan, will be available in UK shops from September 2018.<\/p>\n

Packaged in a new garden-fresh style but with the distinctive gold Divine logo and pattern layout, the new organic range comes in pale card with a colour palette and hand-print design capturing the range\u2019s exotic origins, ingredients and flavours. The chocolate is wrapped in a clear biodegradable film and we are proud to say that the Divine Organic range packaging is all plastic free.<\/p>\n

Dedication and care<\/h4>\n

The Divine team went out recently to meet with the farmers of S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9, and to see the dedication and care they put into growing and preparing their cocoa.\u00a0 Farmer Rosa Monteiro was very pleased to hear the news that her co-op\u2019s cocoa would be used for the new range, and is fiercely proud of her crop. She said to pass on the message \u201cthe cocoa is natural, very delicious and high quality. If you haven\u2019t tried it, you\u2019re missing out!\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the first time Divine Chocolate has sourced cocoa from S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 \u2013 the tropical island nation off the West Coast of Africa.\u00a0 Originally the biggest producer of cocoa in the world, it is now rejuvenating its cocoa industry, and developing a new reputation for excellence, and organic cocoa with a distinctive rich flavour and fruity notes.\u00a0 Divine is 44% owned by the Kuapa Kokoo farmers\u2019 co-operative in Ghana, which means that Divine can deliver the Fairtrade premium to other Fairtrade farmers they buy from, while still delivering profits to Kuapa Kokoo. This way Divine Chocolate is continuing to deliver its mission to create more equitable and empowering trading relationships with smallholder farmers in Africa, and around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
