United StatesMy Favorite!!
This is my favorite chocolate bar - I was so happy to find it on Hive!
United StatesExcellent
Smooth without additives like soy lecithin. Love how few ingredients it has despite depth of flavor and smoothness.
United StatesHealthy chocolate bar
Alter eco Super Blackout bar is perfect for people who love the robust flavor of dark chocolate. And knowing that by purchasing this brand you are sponsoring reforestation is a big bonus.
Delicious! Highly recommend!
Delicious, excellent quality chocolate! I eat some everyday! Very dark and satisfies my chocolate cravings. Pretty low sugar which is great!
Three stars for the chocolate, minus two for the wrong item
I have had MANY positive Alter Eco mail order experiences since the pandemic began (like, one a month, I’m addicted to this stuff). This was the first time I ordered a product (90%) and the wrong one (85%) arrived. Still delicious, of course. Overall, you guys are doing well.
