If it doesn't have a nutritional label is it 'free'?
I've been eating little pieces of this lately, a very pure chocolate, no additional cocoa butter, just a little cane sugar, so it's more like a pressed cocoa powder which would be about 100 calories/25g rather than a chocolate bar, 150-180 calories/25g. Regardless, I haven't been logging it.
90% Plantations Arriba 100g Bar. 100% Arriba Cocoa, Rainforest Alliance Certified, Sustainable Cocoa Program. Grown only in Ecuador, Arriba is considered a fine flavored cocoa with a perfumed floral scent. Its flavor is smooth, subtle, with a dominant floral note and nutty after notes. Plantation's mission is to safeguard heirloom cocoa varieties, to encourage new sustainable cultivation methods that preserve the rain forest, and to guarantee a fair price for cacao planters. The trees' parentage has been identified by Cirad, a leading international cocoa research organization, to be 100% Arriba. Rainforest Alliance is a leading conservation agency dedicated to implementing better business practices for biodiversity conservation and sustainability. The Alliance's Ecuadorian partner who is implementing the sustainable program is Conservacion y Desarrollo. By buying the Arriba bar, you support the planters directly, help preserve the only native cocoa flavor varietal, and safeguard the Ecuadorian rain forest.
