Flecks of crispy mint dot this rich, full, dark chocolate that's as smooth as it is strong. A classic combination with a cocoa-forward flavor.
Sustainable goodness
Alter Eco has pioneered a full circle approach to eating, farming, and doing business. They're a sustainability-driven food company that inspires others to follow their lead.
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.

responsible sourcing
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. -
low carbon footprint
Founder 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. -
recyclable packaging
The company has committed to using 100% compostable or recyclable packaging by the end of 2020. 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. -
supporting key causes
Not only does Alter Eco give their employees 3 paid days off a year to support causes of their choice, they also make regular cash and product donations to the organizations their team members are passionate about. These include clean-ups, food services, building green spaces in urban neighborhoods, supporting events for Earth Day and MLK Day, and contributing to Imperfect Produce and SF Recology.
How to use it
Take a delicate bite and savor the full taste.
When you're done...
The paper wrapper, if clean and dry, is curbside recyclable. If contaminated with food waste, it can be composted. The foil wrapper is curbside recyclable once any chocolate crumbs have been removed.
These are general guidelines for broadly-recyclable materials. Check with your local recycler to confirm what they take.

United StatesHey there, Hive - Jamie here from the Sustainability team! Alter Eco has so many laudable things going on from an environmental and social impact standpoint: zero waste packaging, carbon neutrality, amazing transparency, and more. But, they're paired all of this with a stand out product, as well! Refreshing and decadent, I now always keep a bar in the freezer for when I need a chocolate pick-me-up. It really takes the crispness to the next level!
