VEGAN CHOCOLATE

In our meat-obsessed society, vegetarian and vegan lifestyles remain a minority. The vegan philosophy and lifestyle is demanding, and requires vigilance to ensure the food we eat is animal product free. Luckily, this doesn't mean vegans have to miss out on one of life's simplest and most decadent treats!

There are literally thousands of reasons to choose vegan chocolate over typical, dairy-based chocolate. Maybe you are allergic to dairy products, or perhaps you are lactose intolerant. Maybe you've chosen a vegan lifestyle for health reasons or for your own personal ethical beliefs. Maybe you are concerned about the environmental impact the dairy industry has on our fragile, depleted planet. Or, maybe you've chosen it simply to avoid ingesting the antibiotics, pesticides, hormones, and other chemicals involved in the processing of milk. Whatever the reason, there is no denying that vegan chocolate offers a delicious, safe, and healthy alternative to standard milk chocolate.

And, as the popularity of the vegan lifestyle has increased in the U.S., so too has the quality and taste of dairy-alternative chocolates. To achieve the same delicious taste and texture chocolate lovers crave, Soya lecithin (certified non genetically engineered) is used in the vegan variety as an emulsifying agent in the place of milk. Today's vegan chocolate is often so close in taste to dairy chocolate, even the biggest "Chocohalics" can't tell a difference. In fact, the unique mixture of organic ingredients results in a much more pure chocolate experience, one even the most particular taste buds can appreciate.
