The Story: Entrepreneur James Cadbury (yes, he’s part of the Cadbury family) has launched an ethical chocolate start-up, inspired by the historic brand’s British heritage. But these bars won’t be available to pick up just anywhere: they’ll be posted through letterboxes in a bid to shake up the greetings card market. In 2010, Cadbury was subject to a hostile takeover by American corporation Kraft, but James’ Love Cocoa collection is firmly fixed in British tradition.

The Story: The story of MAZA began in Christmas 2015, when founder Asma was looking for a present for her daughter. She searched high and low for some luxurious dark chocolate with a high cacao content without any sugar, but was met with nothing but disappointment. It was then that Asthma decided to set about making her own. After much trial and error, Asma finally succeeded. The end result? The UK’s first ever chocolate to be sweetened with organic palmyra nectar, a unique ingredient harvested from the blossom of the palmyra tree, which endows MAZA chocolate with a rich taste.

The Chocolate: All the cacao is single origin, high quality and ethically sourced, so that the farmers receive a fair price. While all 3 varieties contain 70% cacao, their flavour profiles really differ depending on the origin of the cacao used. For example, the Almond Butter chocolate uses cacao sourced from Columbia and the Dominican Republic, while the Coconut Chocolate is made with Madagascan cacao, which has a natural berry-like flavour and colour. Almond butter chocolate = the dream.
