What does organic food (chocolate) mean?

When it comes to food, all of us love natural products full of taste and flavor. Consumers today want organic farming, products with fewer ‘bad’ ingredients, and products made responsibly.

What is organic (chocolate)?

Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production that combines:

  • A high level of biodiversity
  • The preservation of natural resources
  • All natural substances and processes
  • High-quality ingredients
  • A focus on environmental and animal protection.

Creations can be labeled organic if at least 95% of their ingredients have been organically farmed. And what is even better? Products that arise from the pure goodness of nature are tasty as well.

Organic = Natural, Simple and Responsible

Natural

Organic ingredients are organically farmed and are free from chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The use GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) or products coming from GMOs are normally forbidden by organic legislation. Therefore there is better soil health and the plants get the time to grow and take all the richness from the soil, giving rise to the most authentic taste profiles.

‘70% of consumers perceive organic as Natural and chemical-free 
Barry Callebaut, consumer study, 2016

Simple

Organic products are expected to have a clean and short ingredient list with full traceability from farm to the end product.

Responsible

All aspects of the organically certified product should reflect great respect for consumers’ health, animal welfare, the environment, and even producing companies and employees. All of the above create a responsible and sustainable product.
