The process of the Ricemilk Choco™ bars is somewhat different. The chocolate plant that is used to process the bars was built for sustainable chocolate production and is based on an energy system that is both cost effective and environmentally friendly. A process known as Heat Exchange where the heat is transferred to cold and vice-versa, with energy efficiency of up to 82%!
“We all have to do our part in every way we can. Chocolate doesn’t have to induce guilt. Its resurgence in the limelight has inspired people to become more educated and ethically aware of the chocolate process from bean to bar. Chocolate production is becoming an important aspect of deciding which chocolates consumers choose to eat and it’s important that consumers keep demanding superior quality products created with high ethical standards, keeping indulgence in balance with sustainability. As the awareness and standards for Organic and Fair Trade advance, we strongly believe that green production becomes the next phase in our industry,” says Terra Nostra’s Founder & President Karlo
Every initiative, every hand, and morsel of chocolate counts in this journey for global sustainability.
