Equal Exchange Very Dark Chocolate
March 12, 2012
The Equal Exchange brand Very Dark Chocolate (71% Cacao) is organic and uses 100% fair trade ingredients. 
The chocolaty richness of this bar is absolutely excellent. I love the fruity notes that come right away at the beginning and the soft, vanilla cocoa that lingers in the finish. This is one of my favorite chocolates and at 71%, is the best in that percentage range.
This bar is made from cacao from farmer owned co-operatives in CONACADO, a famous cocoa growing region in the Dominican Republic, and CACVRA, in Peru.

“Feel Good” Chocolate that Tastes Good Too

Seeds of Change says their chocolates are “a happy accident” that began as a mission to preserve organic and heirloom seeds from getting swept away by a progressive industrial agriculture. Their appetite for change lead them directly to chocolate as part of their search for delicious organic food.
My first experience with Seeds of Change came from an organic dark chocolate orange and fig chocolate bar. The fig flavor comes from fragrant, dried, and chewy pieces of fig; while the orange flavor comes from oil of orange. The combination is remarkably delicious. The texture is very unique because the fig not only offers the chewiness but also the crunch of tiny seeds.
