RRP: $7.90

Silver + Editor's Choice

Non-toxic

Made from excellent organic ingredients including organic coconut milk powder, cashew and almond, and sweetened with evaporated coconut nectar. Dairy free.

Ethical

All Loving Earth’s ingredients are certified organic, vegan and kosher and are not associated with child labour in any way. The brand's wildcrafted ingredients honour the indigenous people that have cultivated them for thousands of years, as well as the earth and ecosystems in which they are grown – working with the Ashaninka community in Peru, the Twin Lakes Mob Community in The Kimberley, and coconut farmers in Indonesia. Through product manufacturing, Loving Earth gives back to these communities thereby adding more value to their work and increasing the revenue they generate for their families. All Loving Earth’s cacao is purchased from the Ashaninka community in Peru at a price above market value.

Sustainable

Loving Earth ensures ingredients are produced without the use of synthetic fertilizers or chemical pesticides/herbicides and are cultivated in ways (such as traditional permaculture systems/shade-grown ingredients using native canopy species) that help restore native ecosystems, prevent erosion and support water conservation. For example, the brand’s cacao is grown in a regenerative way by the indigenous people of the land in Peru. All Loving Earth’s products are made in a solar-powered factory and the brand uses home compostable packaging and vegetable inks, as well as biofill packaging for sending out products. In addition, the brand’s office is dedicated to recycling.

Responsible

In Australia, all profits from their Gubinge Powder and Jillungin Dreaming Tea go back to the Twin Lakes Mob community in The Kimberley. In addition, the harvest brings jobs to the community and a chance to reconnect to their land. The brand also supports local and national charities, such as Greenpeace’s Sea Shepherd, through their promotional activity.

What our experts say...

I like the fact that we have a vegan, dairy-free, organic white chocolate available. I think for the white-chocolate lovers this is a perfect choice. I love that loving earth uses real vanilla too. Infact, I love everything about how this product is created, from the organic and wildcrafted ingredients, working with indigenous communities, the home compostable packaging, solar powered factory and community involvement. I can’t fault anything they do.

It is so utterly silky smooth, not too sweet and really a wonderful product. Lots of white chocolate products are so sweet and have no flavour. This is exceptional. It has oodles of integrity – nuts are obvious as is the subtle coconut sweetness. As a company Loving Earth is truly inspiring. Their commitment to not just the environment but people is above and beyond.

– Rebecca Sullivan

Deliciously creamy and with just the right sweetness, this is an incredibly smooth vegan white chocolate. I love that Loving Earth uses direct trade for their ingredients and this chocolate is sweetened with coconut nectar collected by hand and processed in the same village, giving jobs and supporting a whole community. I also really appreciate the home compostable packaging.

Each sandy coloured, smooth and creamy textured square brings flavours of vanilla bean, cashew and hints of coconut. This thoughtfully packaged, quality ingredient packed, plant-based chocolate bar is a must for every pantry. Ideal to indulge in as is or melted over homemade cookies.
