The Equal Exchange Co-op sells organic, fair-trade, premium chocolate bars.  The chocolate is purchased from small-scale farmers and their families. The chocolate is made in the Swiss tradition from co-operatives in the Dominican Republic, Panama, Peru, and Ecuador.

You can go online to buy their products but chances are you will see them being sold as fundraisers for faith-based organizations, at community events, holiday bazaars and fairs, and even in farmers’ markets.

I was given a mini-sized 55% dark chocolate bar for a tasting sample at a volunteer fair last week.  It was delicious!  (I bought a full-size 71% dark for later!)

I’m impressed with the outstanding flavor from the Equal Exchange chocolate.  The bar was a blend of Dominican and Peruvian chocolate with a velvety smooth texture packing a bold, intensely chocolate punch.  The lingering finish was nutty with a hint of spice and vanilla.

I’m impressed with the positive impact Equal Exchange is having on food, families, and our global environment. 

I’m impressed with the assortment of chocolates and other consumables they offer and have been offering for over 20 years.  Their commitment to quality products, fair trade practices, and future vision for sustainable agriculture is solid.

You’ll be impressed, too.  Check out their website: www.equalexchange.coop.  And, don’t forget to enjoy the chocolate - it’s really good!!
