We don\u2019t need much of an excuse to enjoy chocolate<\/a>, but in case you were looking for one: July 7th is World Chocolate Day. It\u2019s a great chance to enjoy our favourite sweet treat<\/a> in any form \u2013 milk, white or dark, in a bar<\/a> or a box<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brief history of chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Supposedly, July 7th is the day in 1550 that chocolate<\/a> was introduced to Europe (although there is some doubt around this).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico, Central and South America had been enjoying chocolate<\/a> in one form or another for several thousand years by that point. Originally it was consumed as a bitter drink \u2013 in fact \u201cchocolate\u201d, a loan word from Spanish, is theorised to come from xocolatl(\u201cbitter water\u201d)in the Aztec language of Nahuatl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today chocolate<\/a> is a versatile and beloved food enjoyed all around the world, both on its own and as an ingredient in cakes, cookies, puddings and mousses. But its popularity has come at a cost. The cocoa bean industry is currently plagued by ethical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethical concerns in cocoa farming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the falling price of cocoa, many cocoa farmers – especially women – are shockingly underpaid, some making as little as 30 cents a day. With such extreme levels of poverty, it\u2019s perhaps no surprise that child labour is also increasingly widespread. An estimated 2.1 million children work on cocoa farms in West Africa, plus a further 8,000 in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are ecological concerns too. The drive to plant more cacao trees often leads to deforestation to make space, and the pesticides used can pollute water systems and cause further complications in the local ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence of these abuses is routinely hidden and it\u2019s possible that we still don\u2019t know the full extent of the problem. Here at Ethical Superstore<\/a>, we like to work with brands who care about where their ingredients come from and are taking steps to combat exploitation. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethical chocolate brands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Divine chocolate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Divine<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Divine Chocolate<\/a> product is Fairtrade-approved, and they\u2019re a certified B Corporation<\/a>, meaning they meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.\u00a0 They\u2019re the only Fairtrade<\/a> chocolate company co-owned by a farmers\u2019 union – Kuapa Kokoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tony\u2019s Chocolonely<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tony\u2019s<\/a> aren\u2019t satisfied with just keeping their own chocolate slavery-free \u2013 it needs to be the new standard for the industry. They\u2019re leading by example, working with traceable cocoa and paying farmers a premium, but that\u2019s just the start. They\u2019re constantly looking for new ways to raise awareness and inspire other companies to take similar action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ombar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ombar<\/a> work with raw cacao for its richer flavour and high level of antioxidants. They avoid monoculture plantations and pay their farmers a steady income that\u2019s significantly higher than Fair Trade prices, with the extra money going to local community projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vivani<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Vivani<\/a> have partnered with the Weinrich Chocolate Factory<\/a> and the Fuparoca Foundation<\/a> to improve the livelihoods of farmers and their families in the Dominican Republic, where much of their cocoa is sourced. Key targets are increased crop yields and biodiversity and premium wages for farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
