Chocolatemakers takes full advantage of biodynamic trend with Demeter certified range

Organic, Demeter

October 2023, Amsterdam

For years, the Amsterdam chocolate company has been the textbook example of sustainable business and production. From sailed cocoa to a factory running on solar energy, the Amsterdam entrepreneurs have always been ahead of their time when it comes to sustainability. That's why the company is now fully behind the biodynamic trend that is becoming increasingly visible on supermarket shelves. Their collaboration with Brazilian biodynamic farmers that had already started last year with two bars has now expanded to a larger assortment that includes special inclusions such as vegan caramel.

Biodynamic agriculture complies with all the regulations that organic agriculture must meet. All biodynamic products are also organic. However, biodynamic agriculture goes further and has more rules for the environment and animal welfare. The basis of biodynamic agriculture is the structure and fertility of the soil. A natural soil with a healthy and rich soil life is the starting point of good biodiversity in an ecosystem. Preserving the individual character of animals and plants and the taste of products is another spearhead of the biodynamic method. Natural manure and compost are used and even though there are more rules attached to it, farmers often prefer this method. There is no need to purchase expensive chemical pesticides, the land remains more fertile and healthy, and the farmer can do it all himself.

Chocolatemakers has been the epitome of sustainability for more than a decade, focusing on climate, farmers and biodiversity. This is why they decided to invest in expanding their biodynamic range. The four bars under the Demeter range are all vegan. A vegan bar with 30% cocoa and vegan caramel, a vegan bar with 48% cocoa, a pure bar with 65% cocoa and roasted hazelnuts and a pure bar with 70% cocoa and sea salt.

The range is now available in organic supermarkets and Chocolatemakers' webshop
