Divine Milk Chocolate

This chocolate is a purely indulgent treat. A group of farmers in Ghana formed the Kuapa Kokoo under which they asked fair trade price for their farmed cocoa in 1993, however by 1997 they decided that rather than going for a niche market they would go out against mainstream brands. I have been trying to buy more fair trade products as although the rates farmers are paid are still much lower than they should be, it is a better rate than for non fair trade brands - small steps in the right direction. You can now buy them is supermarkets across England - it is around 85p for a 100g bar in most although Asda doesn't often seem to stock it. This ...  Read the complete review

I bought a bar of Divine chocolate a few months ago from The Body Shop after it was calling my name from its pretty wrapper as it sat on the shelf. It wasn't cheap at almost 60p but I'd heard of the brand before and I was happy at the time to pay a little more to support fairtrade.

Divine Milk Chocolate Bar - Heavenly Chocolate with a heart!! Where do I begin to sing the praises of this chocolate. Divine milk chocolate is made with the finest Ghanaian cocoa and cocoa butter which gives it the most smooth, creamy and delicious flavour! It truly is divine!! It is available in 100g and 45g bars although it's most commonly found in supermarkets in the 100g size (oh dear...more chocolate to eat what a shame!!) So you saw the title, am I promising guilt free chocolate consumption. Well yes the finest Fairtrade ingredients go into all of the Divine chocolate range including these luscious milk chocolate bars. Divine ...  Read the complete review

I received a free sample of this through the post for some reason a while ago and, never being one to refuse a freebie, particularly if it is of the chocolate variety, I tucked in with relish. It tastes great - a strong, high cocoa solids, chocolate of the sort that you don't need to eat a whole lot of to get that satisfied 'I've had a treat' feeling. It was the milk chocolate variety that I tried but, judging by the quality of that, I'm sure all the other varieties are just as good. The packaging (which by now was all I had left to evaluate) was very attractive - chocolate brown with a gold printed design and of course the fair trade logo which ...  Read the complete review
