organic chocolate wedding favours
We only use quality chocolates and perhaps the best tasting example of these
is our organic chocolate range. Organic chocolates are available in
most of our wedding favours and include organic chocolate truffles and organic chocolate
squares.
As a company we regularly support the great work of
Soil Association, a charity
that encourages a natural way of farming and growing vegetables that works in harmony with nature.
what does organic mean?
Our organic chocolates have been made using entirely natural methods. No artificial preservatives,
colourings, flavourings or other additives have been used in our organic chocolates.
The farmers who produce our organic ingredients do not
use any chemical fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. They take a holistic, sustainable
approach to farming, treating the farm as a balanced eco system that benefits from the use of natural
agriculture.
the benefits of organic chocolate wedding favours
- Organic chocolate simply tastes better. Artificial additives are commonly used to cut
corners in food production, but we rely on the quality of natural ingredients to produce superb
tasting chocolate.
- The EPA
(America's version of the Environment Agency) estimates that 60% of all
herbicides, 90% of all fungicides and 30% of all insecticides are potentially carcinogenic. None of
these have been used in the production of our organic chocolates.
- Intensive farming damages soil and introduces potentially harmful chemicals to the water table and
the food chain. Organic farming promotes biodiversity and allows farmland to flourish as a natural
eco-system thus maintaining soil quality without the use of hundreds of chemicals.
- The risk to farmers of chemical accidents and the effects of long term exposure to agricultural
chemicals is well known. This is a particular problem in developing countries where most of the cocao
is grown. These countries often have less rigorous regulations concerning chemicals so dangerous that they are
banned in many other parts of the World. As these chemicals are not used in organic farming
the risk that they pose does not exists.
