When choosing chocolate eggs, there are some where the varieties are neither ethical nor climate friendly. Derived from the cacao bean, quality chocolate depends on a high-quality bean. But there has become increasing awareness that that our t favourite sweet indulgence has for years been provided at terrible cost to farmers and the environment, particularly rainforests, so large-scale producers have been starting to take steps to address the issues. Brands that make great play of their ethical standards, such as the Dutch-based Tony’s Chocolonely, have been appearing more often on our supermarket shelves. A new study highlighted that choosing chocolate made from traditionally-grown 'shade cocoa', for example The C Note Ltd, Gola Rainforest Chocolate, and products certified by the Rainforest Alliance, it is possible to support both livelihoods and biodiversity while enjoying delicious chocolate this Easter.
