How it does good
Elevating chocolate and the standards for producing it
Cocoa farming poses a big risk for environmental damage, forced labor, and child labor. Alter Eco has set out to make a difference in the chocolate world by putting an end to these dangerous and destructive practices. Every single product Alter Eco produces is sourced directly from small-scale farmers. They go beyond the Fair Trade pay standards by providing their partners with targeted assistance with food security, biodiversity, and gender equality. They've committed to compostable, non-toxic wrappers and have been carbon neutral since 2009.
Alter Eco pays their farmers 1.3x (33% more) the standard Fair Trade payment. They also help cocoa farmers transition their land to dynamic agroforestry, training over 400 farmers in dynamic agroforestry since 2015.
Learn MoreFounder Tristan Lecomte pioneered a method of integrating carbon offsetting within the company's own supply chain to improve soil conditions, biodiversity and crop health, all while making them carbon neutral since 2009.
Learn MoreAlter Eco packs all of their chocolates in 100% compostable or recyclable packaging. And as a part of the OSC2 Packaging Collaborative, a leading sustainable packaging innovation, they've been working since 2013 on removing petroleum-based plastic from our landfills, oceans, and planet.

United StatesJust what I needed!
This was just what I needed for my secret mommy chocolate stash! The flavor intrigued me and it did not disappoint, it has an amazing deep chocolate flavor with just enough brown butter (or carmely) flavor to keep it sweet but equally enough bitter and richness to keep me from eating the entire bar in one sitting. I keep in my pantry and snag a chunk when I need a little pick me up!

Amazing flavor, amazing texture.
United StatesBrown Butter is my weakness
Alter Eco, why did you have to go so hard? Brown butter? Are you trying to make me a chocolate addict? I am not a chocoholic, but I do enjoy chocolate from time to time --- this bar is threatening to change my life. Try it at your own risk, but heed my warning kids, it's addictive!
Pretty good chocolate
Pretty good
Lackluster
I was excited when I saw this flavor assuming it would be complex and tasty. Unfortunately it is very one-dimensional and lacks flavor. In fact, it could easily be just plain dark chocolate...there are no salt or butter notes to speak of.
