Traidcraft launches luxury chocolate range

Fairtrade organisation Traidcraft is launching an organic luxury chocolate range. The range will initially comprise four variants, with more planned for later this year.

The Swiss-made range contains Fairtrade cocoa from Boliva and Fairtrade sugar from Costa Rica, is organic and boasts a high cocoa content.

It will be available in organic dark chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocoate with peppermint crisp and dark chocolate with orange variants. The bars will retail at about £1.70 each.

Packaging has been created by design agency Studio Blackburn and feature illustrations by Heather James. The packs also show pictures and quotes from some of the cocoa farmers benefiting from the sale of the bars.

Traidcraft was founded 29 years ago and combines a trading company and a development charity.
