For the Choco-Connoisseur
Date: December 23, 2008 | Category: Food & Drink, Lifestyle
Voted the “Best Organic Hot Chocolate” by the American Culinary Institute, Dagoba’s Authentic Hot Chocolate is a sure thing – rich and velvety smooth without being too sugary. The European style mix is fair trade certified and all of the decadent ingredients are 100% organic. Since it’s non-instant, you’ll need to combine it with heated milk, or a milk alternative.
Founded in 2001, Dagoba is truly dedicated to the triple bottom line, creating chocolate that benefits “people, planet, and industry.” All of the packaging is reusable and recyclable. In addition to buying organic, rainforest-grown cacao, Dagoba supports multiple ecological projects in the areas where the cacao is sourced - maintaining a critical wildlife corridor in Costa Rica, and co-funding a study on ecological health and sloth population.
The Authentic Hot Chocolate is a statement of full-bodied bliss on its own, but it makes for an even sweeter sip knowing that a portion of the proceeds are going towards localized, sustainable projects.
“You can deprive the body, but the soul needs chocolate.” - The Dagoba Mantra.
