In the past year I’ve heard some really alarming facts about the international chocolate market. 70% of the cocoa beans used to make the world’s chocolate come from West Africa, mainly the Ivory Coast and Ghana. Presently, over 250 000 children in West Africa are being exploited for their labour in the cocoa industry. Many of these children have been illegally trafficked across the borders of neighbouring countries. This is effectively modern slavery. World Vision is currently running a campaign to get chocolate companies in Australia to provide ethical certification for their chocolate products. I encourage you to check out the campaign, email Coles to find out where they source their cocoa from and buy brands that can guarantee that fair labour is being used and the growers are receiving a fair price. I can tell you that such chocolate tastes twice as good!

Thank god I’m not alone, I completely ignored this stuff, until the other night a friend of mine bought some insisting it was really good, I laughed at her.

Then I tried it and I’m hooked, in terms of supermarket chocolate it’s much better than this “new” cadburys crap. Great article!! Normally I completely avoid supermarket brands as it destroys small and medium businesses, but when it tastes this good, who gives a shit!

I was interested to see a full name to a face on a coles brand product and had to check it out. My family often have a laugh at coles branding and Ignace Liebeert was no exception. Lindt varieties were consumed in copious amounts now coles belgian chocolate is the trend. Ignace may not be a master chocolatier but at least he’s not just a model. Funny post, I had to respond.

“who produce over 55,000 of dark chocolate”

I assume you mean over 55,000 [bars] of dark chocolate? That’s an impressive assembly line.
