Food & Health (food)

Yeah, there’s a lot of organic chocolate around now. And there’s a good amount of Fair Trade, too. But here’s a nice bar that’s both, and tastes amazing. The Green & Blacks Maya Gold. You might not have heard of Greens & Blacks, but don’t think for a second that it’s new. This is actually the first organic chocolate produced as well as the first product ever designated “Fair Trade”. So, does that mean that it tastes like the dusty floor of a healthfood store? No way. It’s gorgeous dark chocolate, with a gentle orange flavor, and a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. They also sell a crunchy Organic butterscotch chocolate, one with tiny bits of crystallized ginger, and a raisin and hazelnut bar. The reasonthat you might have missed this company’s great cocoa products is that it is based in the UK. But, they are available in the best green shops as well as online.::chocolatesource.com [by Tamara Holt]
