Grenada Chocolate Company

Grenada Chocolate Company's solar–powered factory sits in the Caribbean rainforest among the lush cocoa groves. It's here that the organically farmed cacao is transformed into gloriously complex chocolate. Grenada is able to achieve award–winning results through control and involvement in all steps of the process: from the farms in the cocoa growing cooperative to the bean fermentation process. The results are obvious in the deep complex flavors developed in the bars. The deep espresso, cream and vanilla flavors and aromas are dazzling.

The chocolate is certified organic with every ingredient being organic starting with, of course, the cacao, sugar, biodynamically grown vanilla from Costa Rica, and organic soy lecithin in very small amounts as an emulsifier (allows them to fill the mold more easily since their molds have some more complex artwork). Grenada advertises: "all of our products are nut free - not a trace."
Local involvement in this enterprise doesn't stop with the cocoa farmers. Rather, the factory itself is run and owned by Grenadians. This takes the fair trade model even further and shares more of the benefits with the local population.
