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 StatesYummy
Really love the blackout with the mint. Usually I get chocolate with mint. Excellent
United StatesLike a less sweet, fair trade Andes mint.
I love a dark chocolate that's not tooooo dark, and I really love me some mint. I've always enjoyed Andes mints, but they're just too sweet. The flavors of this bar remind me a lot of Andes mints, but there's way less sugar and much more complex chocolate notes. This bar is a bit sweeter than you would expect from 90% though, because the mint flavor is added via mint flavored sugar crystals, which also give the bar a pleasant hint of crunch/grit.
Totally addictive!
I love dark chocolate and mint! This is the best tasting bar I have ever had! The mint isn’t bitter or overwhelming but very smooth. The quality of the chocolate is excellent! Plus it’s pretty low in sugar!
One of the best
Hands down the smoothest 90% I've ever had. Little mint crystals are nice too. Not too strong, just right.
Mint Blackout
