At this time, all our Fair trade and organic certified brothers and sisters are buying chocolate from Europe or Origin country that has already been.... made into chocolate! They are melting down the liquor or couverture, adding their own special ingredients, and selling it under their brand name. Making chocolate is a difficult and time consuming process! It takes a lot of time and effort to make chocolate from scratch, and we are proud of our hard work! Best, Kiki theonistasunite.com Hi Guys -

Splitting hairs. Anyway, great to hear that the demand for organic/fair-trade chocolate is a healthy and growing one!
