Sustainable chocolate

21 February 2012 – The Grenada Chocolate Company produces award winning organic dark chocolate from bean to bar, all within the rainforest of Grenada. The co-operative’s products are produced using solar power and as all profits go back to the members, the products can be called truly ‘fairly traded’.

To enhance their green credentials, they will be bringing their products this year to the USA and the UK, their biggest export markets, on the cargo sailing Brigantine Tres Hombre.

This 32 metre engineless schooner will be leaving Grenada on March 8th to begin a more than 60 day voyage to New York and then Portsmouth via the Azores. She will be carrying over eight tonnes of chocolate in a special solar powered temperature controlled compartment.

Mott Green, the founder of the Grenada Chocolate Company will be making the journey aboard Tres Hombre, keeping a check on his precious cargo.
