Harvesting

Organic chocolate drops are typically made from cacao beans that are grown in tropical regions such as South America, Africa, and Asia. The cacao trees thrive in hot, rainy climates and are usually harvested twice a year, with the main harvest season occurring in the late autumn and early winter. The cacao pods are carefully hand-picked to ensure the highest quality beans for chocolate production.

Once harvested, the cacao beans are fermented, dried, and roasted to bring out their rich, complex flavours. The beans are then ground into a paste, which is used to make chocolate liquor. This liquor is then further processed to extract cocoa solids and cocoa butter, which are the main components of chocolate drops.

Organic chocolate drops have a deep, rich brown colour, reflecting the high cocoa content and the absence of artificial additives or preservatives. They are naturally rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. Some organic chocolate drops may also be fortified with additional nutrients like vitamin D or calcium to enhance their nutritional profile.

Overall, the process of growing and harvesting organic chocolate drops involves meticulous care and attention to detail, resulting in a high-quality, natural product that is both delicious and nutritious.

The organic nature of Organic Chocolate Dropsmeans that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Chocolate Drops in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Chocolate Drops

Organic chocolate drops have a rich history dating back to the ancient civilisations of Mesoamerica, where cacao beans were first cultivated and used to create a bitter, frothy beverage. Over time, the process of making chocolate evolved, and by the 19th century, the first chocolate bars were produced in the UK. As the demand for organic and ethically sourced products grew, the concept of organic chocolate drops emerged, combining the traditional art of chocolate making with a commitment to sustainability and natural ingredients. Today, organic chocolate drops continue to delight consumers with their rich heritage and delicious, guilt-free indulgence.
