About the bar

This 40% oat milk bar from Chocolate Makers is smooth, creamy, and 100% vegan!

About the maker

Dutch founders Rodney and Enver began to create bean-to-bar chocolate in Amsterdam in 2011. They are as passionate about ethics and sustainability as they are about the chocolate itself; they use only Organic ingredients, pay 50% above the Fairtrade price, and aim to become carbon neutral in their chocolate production. One aspect of this comes from their factory in Amsterdam’s harbour, which has such a large solar panel-covered roof that they generate more power than they consume.

The beans

Village Hope is a farming cooperative in Sierra Leone, which works to reduce poverty in rural areas by creating trained farmers who grow high-quality organic produce and earn a steady income, in an area which has been known to produce low quality cocoa. Village Hope has worked with farmers to build a central fermentary and drying station, which has improved the quality of the cacao significantly.
