Alter Eco

Not every chocolate company starts as a social justice project, but Alter Eco isn’t your average brand.

Founded by activists and former aid workers, Alter Eco was created to give farmers a better deal and bring full transparency to the food supply chain. Their commitment to fair trade goes beyond certification. They work directly with small-scale, farmer-owned co-ops to ensure that every ingredient, especially their prized cacao, is ethically grown and harvested.

Their focus on organic, regenerative agriculture and compostable packaging makes them one of the most environmentally responsible brands in the premium chocolate space. From smooth truffles and dark chocolate bars to crisp quinoa-studded treats, Alter Eco products are bold, creative, and indulgent. Their tagline says it all: Enlightened Indulgence.

Alter Eco co-founders saw the challenges of existing humanitarian aid efforts and became pioneers in social entrepreneurialism, using the business of food to fight for economic and social justice. Every product made is a Fairtrade certified product, sourced from farmer-owned co-ops practicing sustainable agriculture.

We put sustainability and deliciousness together, and you get what we like to call Enlightened Indulgence! Over the years, the Alter Eco team has also worked to ensure every aspect of our business gives more to the world than it takes. That’s why we have become pioneers in compostable packaging and have worked with our cacao partners to replant the rain forests where our beans are grown.

Though we can’t all be at the same table, we like to think that every time we crack open a bag or bar of Alter Eco, we’re sharing a moment with Maria in Peru, Gustavo, in Bolivia, Grover in Ecuador – and you in Canada.

Whether it is organic grass-fed chocolate, gluten-free Dark Chocolate truffles, non-GMO salted caramel truffles, or vegan dark quinoa organic chocolate bars, we look forward to sharing it with you!
