Meet Tuandua, our 100g naturally vegan dark chocolate orangutan, created to help support the work of SOS the Sumatran Orangutan Society.
By the way, Tuan means 'Sir' in Malay and 'Dua' means two - as this is the second Orangutan in our SOS family.
Help us rebuild the rainforest
Every Tuan, Tuandua, or Tuantiga sold will buy and plant one tree seedlings, which will help bring sustainable trees back to deforested areas to restore the orangutans habitat and will fruit in the future.
As of the latest update from the SOS team, we have funded the planting of over 15,000 cocoa tree seedlings to date. We were thrilled to discover from the SOS team in Sumatra, that orangutans love eating cocoa bean flesh fresh from the pod! Growing cocoa will also bring wider income streams to local farmers. In five years time, we hope to be buying the cocoa beans from the farmers, to make orangutan-approved Chococo chocolate!
Did you know that some of the biggest British chocolate brands contain palm oil?
It is added to cut costs as they replace a % of the more expensive cocoa butter with cheaper "vegetable fats" including palm oil. It is easy to avoid chocolate containing it though as they have to declare it in their ingredients labels. We never have, & never will, use palm oil as we only work with fine chocolate made with pure cocoa butter.
Why is palm oil so harmful?
Palm oil isn't harmful when farmed sustainably, however unfortunately in Sumatra the rainforests are under immense threat from industrial scale deforestation, with huge areas being flattened to make way for farm land due to the overwhelming international demand for palm oil. Some of it is farmed sustainably but sadly, most of it isn't. In Sumatra there is now 4 times as much land cultivated with oil palms as there is orangutan habitat remaining & there are now only 14,600 orangutans left - putting them on the critically endangered list.
