honest chocolate

The raw truth about chocolate? Most brands are made from roasted cacao, but Honest Chocolate in Cape Town use organic, raw cacao, which is more delicious plus higher in antioxidants, making it even better for you than regular dark chocolate.

The founders are Anthony Gird and Michael de Klerk. They were exploring new ideas in chocolate on different sides of the planet when they decided to collaborate and coalesce their delicious ideas into Honest.

Today they complete a team of four chocolateers producing small batches of hand-crafted chocolate, served to the public from beautifully-renovated vintage premises on Wale Street. Everything about their chocolate is honest, from the eco-friendly wrapping paper to the low-GI Algarve nectar they use instead of sugar.

They seem to exude the same happiness and contentment one gets from enjoying really good chocolate. Could it be they love what they do, or find themselves tasting a little more of their product than they should? Probably a bit of both.
