Larder: Dark chocolate
We’re not that choosy about the sound it makes when it snaps, or its aromatic notes for that matter; we like our chocolate dark, rich and glossy. For melting down to dip our berries in, for baking dense, gooey flourless cake, for plopping into late night hot chocolate, and for nibbling on when our souls need pepping up. Oh, and we’d rather not sentence farmers’ families to a lifetime of sadness in the process.
Buy dark, eat slower, save £.
Divine 70% dark chocolate
82p
Tastes less intimidating than other dark bars, making it a good one for the office drawer – and for winning over sceptics. A co-operative of cocoa farmers in Ghana owns shares in the company, and the bar still manages to come in cheaper than all supermarket own-brands.
Tesco Finest Organic Dominican Republic 70% plain chocolate
£1.29
We’re almost sorry it’s this good, because Tesco isn’t famed for doing the right thing. But this bar is fairtrade, brilliantly citrusy and smooth, and it coats the mouth a treat. Smack.
The co-operative fair-trade 85% dark chocolate
£1.26
Good and firm, this bar means business and leaves that wholesome bitterness of dark chocolate on the tongue. All cocoa is supplied by Kuapa Kokoo, a co-operative of farmers in Ghana.
