Sweet like chocolate.

Chocolate lovers can now satisfy their sweet tooth and help protect the environment, thanks to The Chocolate Truffle Company and their new 48g Chocolate bar containing cocoa sourced from a Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM farm.

The Essex-based chocolate company hand makes all its delicious chocolate truffles and bars, and can now offer customers something new as well as guaranteeing that the beans have been grown and harvested responsibly.

The recently launched bar named "Costa Rica 64," is produced from Costa Rican Trinitario Cocoa Beans sourced from a Rainforest Alliance Certified farm.

Rich on dark chocolate, the bar is part of" the new trend where chocolate connoisseurs are opting for handmade ethical products rather than the high street brands.

The Chocolate Truffle Company is an online business that provides band made specialist chocolate. They have identified that their corporate customers are now seeking goods that are not only ethical but are in line with their corporate and social responsibility.

As the demand for chocolate in the UK outstrips supply in Europe, USA and Japan, The Chocolate Truffle Company hopes to create awareness of the conservation of ecosystems.

Christine Moss said: "We are very excited about offering great tasting chocolate that is also good for the environment thanks to the Rainforest Alliance Certified programme. We feel that consumers will notice the difference."

Farmers who have earned the Rainforest Alliance Certified[TM] seal have to meet comprehensive environmental and social standards, developed by the Rainforest Alliance and other conservation groups that make up the Sustainable Agriculture Network. The farmers must take action to conserve natural resources, protect the welfare of workers and put into place more efficient management practices.
