As well as a smart coat this hardy, predator-savvy hen is a great egg-layer, producing either pale blue or green eggs, as well as occasional white ones. Collecting wild bird eggs is illegal, however The Chocolate Detective enthusiastically encourages the delectation of these exquisite, though not necessarily twitcher-accurate, chocolate eggs. Includes six of each, blue and green eggs. The bird egg series is part of the Chocolate Detective's curated Collection, bringing you some of her favorite products from a lifetime in the world of chocolate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHO IS THE CHOCOLATE DETECTIVE?\u003cbr\u003eFounder Chantal Coady OBE uses her years of experience and magnifying glass to crack the code and shine a light on transparent chocolate sourcing. Taking you back to the roots of cocoa, she wants to share how to buy and enjoy the most ethical sustainable and delectable chocolate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chocolate Detective holds itself to the highest sourcing and production standards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn working with cocoa farmers in Grenada and highlighting sustainable chocolate made at grass roots level “Tree to Bar”, they strive to keep value in local economies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEggs are produced by a company that The Chocolate Detective founder Chantal Coady has worked with for over 40 years. She trusts their sourcing of cocoa and can share that they moved away from West African cocoa because they were not happy with the practices there, and not able to control them. They bought a large cocoa farm in Ecuador and have been working directly with the farmers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chocolate eggs are made from this cacao (their house couverture is bean to bar) so there is clear provenance, traceability and good working practices which avoid child labour or deforestation. They are committed to protecting the local people and the environment and they are certified by the Rainforest Alliance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo although the cocoa is not certified ‘Fair Trade’, they are not part of the commodity trading market, they use the Direct Trade model which is even better as they produce their own chocolate from the beans and it’s 100% traceable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have fact checked this with an Ecuadorian cocoa farmer friend Susana Cardenas who is also a cocoa farmer in Manabi province and she has confirmed everything above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlots are classified as agricultural (no deforestation) and there is no conflict with local communities (no land grabbing).\u003cbr\u003eNo deformation of primary forest.\u003cbr\u003eChild labor is strictly prohibited.\u003cbr\u003eWorkers receive training on their rights, the environment, working conditions, agricultural practices (overall, they must be made aware of all aspects of certification).\u003cbr\u003eThe supervision of workers is cared for by the presence of a full-time nurse and a doctor present one day a week on the plantation.\u003cbr\u003eStructures minimize load carrying and workers have adequate protective equipment.\u003cbr\u003eThe salary of the employees is higher than the Ecuadorian minimum wage.\u003cbr\u003eEmployees are affiliated with Social Security, can be members of trade unions, enjoy legal holidays and work 5 days out of 7.\u003cbr\u003eThe use of water is rational (archived registers, leak management, use of sustainable sources).\u003cbr\u003eEffluent control mechanisms are in place (outgoing water analysis).\u003cbr\u003eMaintenance of uncultivated areas on the plantation of several hectares (wooded areas).\u003cbr\u003eMeals with good nutritional value are provided FREE.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68158724931667,"sku":"CD-E-X-TD-150","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1260\/5235\/files\/Xmas-Turtle-Dove-Egg-Front_jpg_1251x_86470c35-6070-423a-a8da-1b9c1025f3f9.webp?v=1794590917","url":"https:\/\/www.relishneworleans.com\/products\/the-chocolate-detective-old-cotswald-legbar-eggs-with-assorted-praline-and-caramel-copy-copy","provider":"Relish New Orleans ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
