A couple of fair trade chocolate bars I purchased at Martindale’s Natural Market…

Above: Equal Exchange mint chocolate.

Above: Madecasse chocolate, pink pepper and citrus (I had to try it because it was such a unique and interesting sounding chocolate)

Above: Also a Madecasse chocolate, although this one was Sea Salt and Nibs

Above: Divine Milk Chocolate, you can just make out the Fair trade logo in the upper left corner

I thought that these chocolate bars were a good example of how there are so many different “fair trade” labels to choose from.  How these labels compare to one another, however, is a subject for another post.
