In addition to their organic standards, Green & Black's has also developed sustainable relationships working directly with the farmers to secure the finest Trinitario cocoa beans.

Today, Green & Black's produces 12 delicious organic chocolate bar varieties including: Dark 85%, Dark 70%, Milk, White, Almond, Hazelnut & Currant, Cherry, Mint, Caramel, Ginger, Maya Gold(R) and Espresso.
