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.

I love these!
I love these! 2 squares in the evening makes me happy.
United StatesMy number one favorite chocolate bar!
My absolute favorite dark chocolate bar with a heavenly taste!! I have to buy 3-4 of these, 3-4 of the orange theo chocolate bar and the same amount of the salted dark chocolate bar, I think called wicked, or miracle in the purple wrapper. All 3 complement each other perfectly!!
United StatesAbsolutely scrumptious and utter deliciousness perfection!!
I eat premium chocolate quite often, and between the Magic salt dark chocolate bar, the Theo Orange 70% Dark Chocolate bar, and the Alter Eco Salted Brown Butter Dark Chocolate 70% bar, I can't decide which is better, but I will say that a chunk of each eaten together is like Heaven has been brought to earth!!! Absolutely scrumptious and utter deliciousness perfection!!!
United StatesChocolate without all the sugar
Very good. Not as sweet as other bars. Lots of chocolate flavor. Enjoyed.
United StatesMelt in your mouth goodness.
Just the right amount of sweetness and velvet smoothness. And 70% cacao. A perfect recipe.
