dagoba chocolate owned by hershey corporation

dagoba chocolate was bought-out and is owned by the hershey corporation. even though the chocolate for dagoba may be fair-trade in buying it you support a company that has very un-sustainable practices including sourcing chocolate from child-slave labor in the ivory coast...here's an excerpt from an Organic Consumer Association article:

Hershey's and M&M/Mars control two-thirds of the U.S. chocolate market, which generated $13 billion from retail sales of 3.1 billion pounds of chocolate in 2001. Both companies, along with other major producers like Nestlé, Archer Daniels Midland, Cadbury, Guittard and Bernard Callebaut, import cocoa beans from the Ivory Coast, which, as the largest cocoa producer in the world, provides almost half the cocoa beans that end up in America. Most of the cocoa from the Ivory Coast comes from 450,000 small farms of 12 acres or less. In September 2000, a BBC documentary entitled "Slavery: A Global Investigation" featured a segment on boys enslaved on Ivory Coast cocoa farms, showing children with heavily scarred backs from beatings with whips and switches. Awareness of the problem became more widespread in June 2001, when a four-part Knight Ridder series on the same topic told the stories of boys in the Ivory Coast, most of them 12 to 16 years old, some as young as 9, who had been sold and then tricked into indentured labor on cocoa farms.

a great website that lists many of the corporate parent ownerships of natural foods is:
www.msu.edu/%7Ehowardp/organicindustry.html (the organic industry structure)
it has an excellent chart detailing the web of connections between multi-national corporations and "natural foods."

new world synargy

The blend of chocolate and chili recalls the original method of partaking in cocoa as practiced by the Aztecs. When Cortez entered the palace of Montezuma, he was astounded to see the septuagenarian ruler of the Aztecs playing with his more than 50 young children. Montezuma attributed his ageless virility to an elixir of cocoa and chili. Now Dagoba has reintroduced this mighty combo in a chocolate bar, excellent!

mouth watering dark chocolate with a conscience

growing up with a sweet tooth as every tooth in my mouth, i reached a limit where I can no longer tolerate such high amounts of sugar. My friend re-introduced me to chocolate, dark chocolate and it has opened a new love affair. Not just with any brand. Dagoba uses organic grown, cacao plants grown and utilized with care and conscientiousness. I recommend this brand to anyone I know, regardless of whether or not they eat chocolate themselves.

good but lots of competition

With all the new organic chocolates on the market, Dagoba now has lots of competition, and will have to improve its product in order to continue to be a leader in providing tasty, organic chocolates. Many new companies are getting smart to the health benefits of chocolate, and not just to its taste. This particular bar could profit from a savvier approach to the health benefits of chocolate, as well thinking through the various ways taste plays into its marketing.

Sell-out?

Dagoba, long-time fair-trade chocolatier was recently bought out by Hershey's... but we're told by representatives that it will not alter its product at all. With such a long line of great tasting, socially guilt-free chocolate bars, let's hope so!

The World's Best Chocolate

This chocolate company is truly outstanding. As an incredible chocoholic, I have tasted and tried numerous dark organic chocolates and the Dagoba line is absolutely the stand out line. Flavor combinations are creative and exquisite and I highly recommend their products to anyone!

good chocolate

dagoba offers good chocolate bars with a variety of flavors. I especially like the one with chilies in it-- think it is called xocolatl. very good, not too hot-- the spice hits me after the chocolate has gone down. try one!

A Chocolate lover's delight

For lovers of chocolate, Dagoba chocolate is supreme. The pure flavor of the chocolate without too much sweetness gives you happiness! For nine-year old Eamon, Dagoba is his first choice. Eamon says it has "lots of texture and makes him feel happy." For his Mom it's sublime pleasure -it's the ultimate chocolate fix. Both Mom and Eamon like to support fair trade products and in particular fair-trade chocolate.

world's best chocolate, except for my own!

All of Dragoba's products are amazing, however the chocolate which includes dark chocolate, chilies and nibs is out of this world! Powerful flavor to the point that my head was spinning and my heart was pounding. What an experience! Keep up the great work!
