Divine Milk and Dark Chocolate Mini Eggs, Dark Mini Bars, Milk and Dark Hearts, and Divine 45g chocolate bars (milk, dark, white and orange flavours) are ideally suited as pretty wedding favours. In celebration of the company’s Ghanaian ownership, the chocolates come beautifully packaged in traditional West African motifs called Adinkra symbols. An elegant addition to the table display, friends will adore these delightful chocolatey treats.
Divine is the choice for chocolate lovers who are looking for high quality products and ethical credentials they can really trust. Every Divine product is Fairtrade certified, grown by a collective of 45,000 farmers in Ghana who belong to the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative. And because the co-operative owns 45% of the company, the farmers share in Divine profits, so you and your guests can rest assured that Divine truly is the chocolate that makes everybody feel good.
The smallholder farmers who grow the cocoa for Divine take particular care in growing, harvesting, fermenting, and drying the beans. Only the real cocoa butter from the cocoa crop is used to make the chocolate – you won’t see any vegetable fats substituted for cocoa butter from Divine! Entirely natural ingredients (and also Fairtrade where available) are used to flavour the chocolate, giving a truly heavenly chocolate experience. As revered chocolate expert and founder member of the Academy of Chocolate Sara Jayne-Stanes says of Divine’s dark chocolate: “a mouthful of intense, very smooth, delectable chocolate … Divine is in a league of its own”.
