About Zotter Hand-Scooped Bars
We're always on the look out for innovative ethical products and you certainly don't get more innovative that the Zotter chocolate range.
Josef Zotter really is the Willy Wonka of our time and his delicious chocolate bars make us think again about what chocolate is all about. The beautifully wrapped bars contain fascinating information about the ingredients and producers, making it a gift that is more than just a bar of chocolate.
On each bar Josef recommends that to be a true chocolate connoisseur you should not munch the chocolate, but savour it by letting it rest for a short time on your tongue and then melt in your mouth. We've tried all the bars in the range and agree fully!
Zotter use the term Hand-Scooped to describe how the chocolate bars are made. These delicious bars are made up of a number of different layers, each applied by hand and containing its own distinctive flavour. Once set the whole bar is coated in chocolate. We suggest serving cut into squares as pictured - each square is a delicious little chocolate and you can get approx 30 small squares from a bar.
"We are not just part "ORGANIC" but totally, we follow the "FAIR TRADE" principles not just in part but with full conviction, and we don’t just pretend to produce chocolate but have the entire production process – from "BEAN-TO-BAR" – all under one roof." Josef Zotter
ORGANIC - All of the Zotter chocolate bars are fully organic - with all the ingredients organic not just the cocoa beans. They refrain from the use of preservatives, artificial flavours and 'similar shiny products' from the chemical industry (as Josef Zotter puts it!). For them it is a matter of consistently pursuing their organic philosophy.” Zotter produce all of their own chocolate in their own factory in Austria from 'bean to bar'. This sounds so logical that you wouldn't think it was special but Zotter is not only one of the few European companies which process cocoa directly, but also the only manufacturer which produces organic and fairtrade chocolate this way.
FAIRTRADE - Zotter has been a permanent license partner of Fairtrade Austria since 2004. This independent Fairtrade seal guarantees that these products comply with the international fair trade standards. Josef Zotter states, "As a cocoa processing company we carry the responsibility for the living and working conditions of the cocoa farmers in Third World countries. Fair trade creates opportunities for small farmers and plantation workers in the producing countries. They are able to emancipate themselves from fluctuating world market prices and establish their own self-determined existence in which child labour and environmental exploitation are foreign words."
