Great dark chocolate with little crunchy pieces & good for my health

I am a HUGE fan of Dark Chocolate and finding GREAT Vegan Dark Chocolate is hard to come by. I came across Organic/Vegan Alter Eco Dark Almond Chocolate and I am in love. This Dark Chocolate was included in my Healthy Surprise box and I quickly began the search of where I could find it locally. I quickly went onto Alter Eco's website and found their phone number. I gave them a call and the folks from 'Alter Eco' went into great detail about all of the 'Fair Trade' products they carry. Alter Eco not only sells Chocolate but they sell Quinoa, Rice & Sugar, all of which are 'Fair Trade Certified' items. You might ask yourself what is 'Fair Trade'? Well 'Fair Trade' means the producers have been paid a price that ensures sustainable production and living conditions, along with a premium to support the growth and advancement of the cooperatives and their communities. Contract prices between Alter Eco and the supplying farmers are 10% to 30% higher than the local market price, with an additional Fair Trade premium set every year by the Fairtrade Labelling Organization (by product category and country of origin). In a global food system where farmers often carry debt three times their annual income, Fair Trade provides concrete opportunities for a stable, prosperous life. I was pleased to discover that since 2007 Alter Eco has provided: $1,116,000 beyond market prices. $150,000 in premiums. Sustainable development for 6 co-ops. A living wage for 5,300 farmers. Alter Eco is also NON-GMO. To me there is no question where I will be buying my Vegan Dark Chocolate from this date forward. I truly do not care that I am paying $1.00 - $1.50 more for Chocolate knowing where it comes, who Alter Eco is supporting and the quality/care that goes into the product. If you have yet to try this product Vegan or not, you have to give Alter Eco a shot and I in my opinion you will not be disappointed.

The best rich dark chocolate I've tasted in years. Add the Quinoa crunch (which reminds me of the "old fashion" Nestle's Crunch Bars) and I'm in heaven. No allergic reactions to Alter Eco chocolate, so I'm sure there are no hidden/undisclosed chemical additives in them. Years ago we had many favorite chocolates in the USA that we could trust not to have chemical additives and preservatives, but not anymore. I feel so sad that these old established chocolate companies feel that they had to add harmful ingredients to their chocolate and send their manufacturing plants to different countries to stay on top of the market and make a profit. I hope Americans, at least, are too savvy to not taste the difference. I'll take Alter Eco over "the good old days" because they're actually bringing them back. It's delicious!
