Not exactly a fair trade.


Recommended Posts

Actually, a big apology is in order here ... I've just noticed Green and Black's use Fairtrade cocoa! :o

 

What's going on here? Why does the Fairtrade chocolate taste even worse than Cadbury's when it's made from the same beans as those used by G+B's?

I can only presume cacao beans are graded for quality and sold in this order:

 

1. Top quality beans (Fare trade). Used solely for the manufacture of Willie's chocolate (default for 'excellence')

 

2. High quality beans (Fair trade). Used for Green and Black's chocolate.

 

3. Poor quality beans (Not very fair trade). Used in lesser proportion to sugar in a confection known as 'Cadbury's'.

 

4. What's left (Fhyuuurgh trade). Cacao beans which have been repossessed from dung beetles using them as makeshift shelters (under compulsory purchase order), washed in Persil, dried out under a Mexican tramps armpit, then turned into Fairtrade chocolate in a process harnessing the natural cacao excretia (cackao) of e-coli bacterium (default for 'yeugh! :gag:').
