It's Fair Trade Friday Again!

You had to know Fair Trade chocolate was coming eventually...

Today I want to tell you about Cocoa Camino. Cocoa Camino makes really yummy Fair Trade chocolate products. They make chocolate chips, hot chocolate, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, golden cane sugar, and, of course, chocolate bars.


Some of the flavors are very interesting, examples being chili and spice as well as matcha green tea. I really like the chili and spice. Serving chocolate with chili pepper is traditional in Latin America, dating all the way back to the Aztec empire in the 14th century, where the trees that grow chocolate (Theobroma cacao) are
a native species and its refinement had been carefully mastered.

You can get Cocoa Camino chocolate at many Fair Trade coffee shops (in Calgary you can get it at The House or Higher Ground, both in Kensington, as well as any Good Earth location), at Ten Thousand Villages, or at most Organic grocery stores. I have yet to see them anywhere else, but let me know if I'm missing a retailer!
