About Fairtrade

All our chocolate is Fairtrade. This means our farmers receive a fair price for their sugar and cocoa and an extra Fairtrade Premium cash payment which they can use to invest in their community, buying everything from schoolbooks to solar panels and providing fresh water supplies.

Sourcing details

Meaningful Chocolate's sugar comes from cooperatives in Paraguay and Belize. Most of the cocoa from cooperatives in the Ivory Coast (Kuapa Kokoo Co-operative Cocoa Farmers and Marketing Union Limited Ghana). Beans are also sourced from cooperatives in the Dominican Republic, Peru, Panama and Ecuador. The chocolate for the eggs is then blended using a Belgian recipe.

Is the chocolate allergy free?

The chocolate contains natural ingredients. The 2024 Real Advent calendar is handmade in the UK in a place where people also handle nuts, therefore we cannot guarantee totally nut free chocolate in this year's calendar. The milk chocolate contains milk and so is not suitable for those with an allergy to lactose. There is also soya lecithin.

Is the Real Advent Calendar suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, the chocolate is made with natural cocoa butter and contains no vegetable fat substitutes.

Where does the chocolate come from and where is it made?

The sugar comes from cooperatives in Paraguay and Belize. Our cocoa from cooperatives in the Ivory Coast with additional higher quality beans, used to create our unique blend, from cooperatives in the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Peru, Panama and Ecuador. The chocolate is made in Belgium.

Why is the chocolate not more healthy?

The aim is to make chocolate that most people can enjoy as a treat and as part of a balanced diet. They use the best natural ingredients in their chocolate. If they replaced natural cocoa butter or sugar with highly processed artificial alternatives then fewer people would enjoy it. So enjoy the chocolate, but be treat wise.

Why is the chocolate not 100% Fairtrade?

All the cocoa and sugar used to make the chocolate is certified Fairtrade. Some ingredients are not yet certified as Fairtrade.

Does the chocolate contain palm oil?

No. In the UK it is possible to add 5% vegetable fat to chocolate. Unlike some larger manufacturers, they don't add any palm oil or any other oils to their chocolate. It's just natural chocolate.

    It is really good value. It looks good, and the chocolate has a good flavour - my nephew said it was the best chocolate he had ever tested! The Christmas Story booklet is a great bonus too. We've been buying the children one each for a few years now.

    The Real Advent Calendar was received within the promised timeframe. I bought this for my daughters and family friends. My eldest daughter said it was the 'best chocolate' she had ever tasted. Will definitely buy again next year. Also pleased that part of the proceeds will go towards the farmers whose cocoa is used for the chocolate.
