Deluxe Vegan Variety Chocolates 6 Squares / Gift Box

We sweeten The Good Chocolate with a special blend of organically sourced, plant-based sweeteners, including Erythritol, Mesquite Powder and Stevia, which gives our Signature Dark it’s rich flavor. There’s no refined, unrefined sugar or sucrose added to The Good Chocolate, period. Learn more about our organic Erythritol and its health benefits.

We source our cacao beans directly from processors and farmers in Nicaragua and Dominican Republic. We have a Direct Trade approach to building long-term relationships with bean growers to ensure sustainable growing and business practices for years to come. Beans are subject to quality testing, and of course must taste delicious.

Yes, when you remove sugar as a primary sweetener, there’s no single replacement that does the job. We’ve created a special blend of sweeteners including Erythritol, Mesquite Powder and Stevia that create the perfect balance of sweetness, intensity and aftertaste.

We use Stevia in very small amounts only to increase sweetness intensity. It’s well known that Stevia by itself has a bitter aftertaste, especially when used in drinks like coffee; but you won’t experience that in our unique sweetener blend for The Good Chocolate.

Yes, many of The Good Chocolate customers make an effort to maintain “ketosis” by keeping their consumption of Net Carbs below 50 per day, or even 20.

The Good Chocolate helps people following a strict Keto diet stay on track thanks to its extraordinarily low Net Carb count of one (1) per bar for Signature Dark Chocolate. (Some of our other flavors like Almond and Milk have slightly higher Net Carbs).

All of The Good Chocolate flavors are certified Keto by The Keto Project. Whether you are really trying to keep your daily Net Carbs below 20, or following Keto guidelines to reduce your Net Carb intake, The Good Chocolate is the perfect chocolate treat.

Yes, many of The Good Chocolate loyal customers abstain from high glycemic foods and keep track of their blood sugar level daily and even hourly. The Good Chocolate offers a sweet chocolate indulgence made with lower glycemic sweeteners like Erythritol and Stevia.

The Good Chocolate is not certified organic. All of our key ingredients, including cacao and sweeteners, vanilla and milk, are certified organic. We have not yet applied for USDA organic certification.

Yes, our dark chocolate flavors are certified Vegan, with the exception of Milk Chocolate and Ethiopian Coffee Milk Chocolate flavors, which are crafted with milk and butter.

We are aware of the problem related to unethical sourcing practices by cocoa suppliers from around the world, especially with tenant farming in Africa. This is why we have chosen to source cacao beans through Direct Trade relationships with trusted bean suppliers in Nicaragua and Dominican Republic.

Unlike fair trade, Direct Trade ensures we source directly from the farmer or processor who works with farmers, cutting out any distributor or co-op “middleman”. With Direct Trade, farmers and processors are not required to pay high annual fees and dues to out-of-country distributors and certifiers. Instead, all our cacao payments remain in-country, and 3rd party costs are lower, which means farmers keep more of the price as profit compared to fair trade.

We believe Direct Trade is a better, more sustainable business practice than fair trade because farmers enjoy the same price no matter how big or small they are. Learn more about Direct Trade here.
