Dark chocolate has long been celebrated as a sophisticated treat, rich in flavour and packed with antioxidants. With a high cocoa content and less sugar than milk chocolate, it offers not just pleasure but also a source of minerals like magnesium and iron.
Bennetto Natural Foods takes dark chocolate to a new level by combining ethical sourcing with exceptional taste. Their bars are made with organic cacao beans grown by Fairtrade cooperatives in Ecuador and Peru, then crafted in Switzerland by expert chocolatiers. The company is certified as a B Corp and climate positive and is committed to paying farmers fairly, which means you can enjoy your treat knowing the people and planet are looked after.
The seventy per cent organic dark chocolate has a short ingredient list: cocoa mass, organic cane sugar and cocoa butter. There are no added dairy, soy or gluten ingredients, making it suitable for vegans and people with intolerances. The high percentage of cocoa delivers a deep, fruity flavour along with antioxidants that may support heart health and mood. Each wrapper features beautiful illustrations of South American birds to remind us of the ecosystems behind each bar.
This chocolate is ideal for anyone who wants to indulge in something sweet without compromising on ethics or quality. It is perfect for vegans, coeliacs and those avoiding refined additives. Parents can feel confident offering a square or two as a treat, while athletes and hikers appreciate it as an energy dense snack on the go. It also makes a thoughtful gift for friends who care about sustainability.
Here are some of our favourite ways to enjoy Bennetto organic dark chocolate:
- Savour a square on its own with a cup of herbal tea or black coffee
- Melt a few pieces into hot milk or a plant milk for a rich hot chocolate
- Chop it into chunks and add to cookie, muffin or brownie batter
- Pair with almonds, hazelnuts and dried cherries for a homemade trail mix
- Grate or shave over porridge, smoothie bowls or yoghurt for a decadent finish.
The team at Fuss Free Nutrition love having Bennetto bars on hand for a mindful moment in the afternoon. Knowing that each bite supports organic farming and fair wages makes the experience even sweeter. As with any chocolate, enjoy in moderation as part of a balanced diet. By choosing this ethical treat you are supporting a positive cycle from bean to bar, and that is something to celebrate.
