Oh dear, Sophie. You should probably check your facts before resorting to calling things ‘twaddle’. Or do you get food poisoning every time you eat raw fruit or veg? (And let’s not get into the millions of bacteria inside you that you *need* in order to survive….)

The beans in raw chocolate are not roasted. That’s the whole point.

this is absolute twaddle because the natural bacteria will give you food poisoning if it hasn’t been cooked.
all beans that make chocolate are roasted

interesting review, I’d like to see fairtrade and organic ingredients featuring a lot more in mainstream chocolate, but it’s well worth seeing what chocolate can be like when those qualities are taken to an extreme like this. In terms of health effects, I wonder how the extra cocoa butter fat balances out against the extra antioxidants and reduced environmental damage (also the good karma of buying something so right on must surely help!)

Thank you for sharing some info about this raw chocolate. I wish they were available in the US.
We carry raw chocolate bars made by Gnosis. We know that vegan, organic, fair-trade are highly sought after qualities. The appearance, texture and taste you describe are similar with Gnosis. This is why those bars are usually enhanced with bits of dried superfruits or salt…
