Wednesday, 10 June 2009

Divine Chocolate, the leading Fairtrade brand co-owned by cocoa farmers, has been granted Kosher certification. The Kosher mark is now carried on all nine flavours of Divine chocolate bar. Divine Chocolate aims to bring good tasting Fairtrade chocolate to as many people as possible and is now able to include all those who wish to observe Kosher certification for the products they buy.   Sophi Tranchell, managing director of Divine Chocolate, said: “We are delighted to have been given Kosher certification as this will enable thousands more chocolate lovers to discover Divine.  Faith groups have always been very important to Divine as they are amongst those who most actively campaign for fairer trade, and it is good to be able to support them in return.”   Divine is the choice for chocolate lovers who are looking for high quality products and ethical credentials they can trust.  All Divine’s chocolate bars and gifts are Fairtrade certified, grown by a collective of 45,000 farmers in Ghana who belong to the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative.   The smallholder farmers who grow the cocoa for Divine take particular care in growing, harvesting, fermenting, and drying the beans.  Only the real cocoa butter from the cocoa crop is used to make the chocolate.
