Iain has been scrupulous in ensuring that his source of chocolate is indeed fairly traded.  All of his cacao is traded ethically with Cocoa Horizons to support environmental sustainability, community development, and protect workers from abusive practices.  The Highland Chocolatier also donates a percentage of all profits to the Nyimdzi Foundation in Ghana to directly support grassroot educational programmes for youth.  While much of the cacao will be necessarily organic, it is not certified as such.  Exceptional flavour and texture is a priority and there is currently no suitable premium quality couverture available which is certified organic or certified by the Fairtrade organisation specifically.
