Certifications Organic chocolate
We’ve believed in the validity of this approach since 1997, becoming the first Italian company to produce organic chocolate.
What do we mean by organic? Simply put, an approach to the product that respects nature: chemical and microbiological treatments are replaced with respect for the natural rhythms and methods of each phase of the process, from growing to preparation, from storage to processing. Specific requirements vary from country to country. Generally involve compliance with a series of rules governing production, farming, storage, manufacturing, packaging, and shipping. These include:
- not using chemical or synthetic products, genetically modified organisms, or radiation at any stage of the production process
- using farmland on which no chemical substances have been used for a considerable number of years
- traceability and the adoption of a documented production system
- the strict physical separation of organic and non-organic ingredients
- regular local inspections
We guarantee the source of our cocoa — the raw material for our fine-quality organic chocolate — with absolute certainty. We aim to provide all our consumers on the market with a product that conforms to national and international organic farming standards.
Our certifications offer further proof of our compliance.
