Divine Chocolate has been taking part in Chocolate Week since it was established and this year is extra special because Divine is celebrating its 10th birthday. That�s ten years of providing chocolate fans with delicious chocolate made using only the finest cocoa beans and cocoa butter from smallholders in Ghana combined with a heavenly range of entirely natural flavours. The Divine range of nine bars, bakery goods and seasonal products all come with a Fairtrade assurance which guarantees a fair deal for the 45,000 cocoa farmers in Ghana who belong to the Kuapa Kokoo farmers� co-operative. Divine�s ethical credentials go one step further than this because the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative also co-owns Divine, meaning the farmers share in Divine�s profits too.

Divine has lined up a host of other Chocolate Week indulgences. Visit www.divinechocolate.com/chocolateweek for a full programme of events.
