Birds Eggs “laid in France”

As part of their CURATE collection, The Chocolate Detective have sourced these eggs from a company that they have worked with for over 40 years. They trust their sourcing of cocoa and can share that they moved away from West African cocoa because they were not happy with the practices there, and not able to control them. They bought a large cocoa farm in Ecuador  (San Fernando, see link and more information below) and have been working directly with the farmers.

The chocolate eggs are made from this cacao (their house couverture is bean to bar) so there is clear provenance, traceability and good working practices which avoid child labour or deforestation.  They are committed to protecting the local people and the environment; AND they are certified by the Rainforest Alliance. (see more below.)

So although the cocoa is not certified ‘Fair Trade’, they are not part of the commodity trading market, they use the Direct Trade model which is even better as they produce their own chocolate from the beans and it’s 100% traceable.
