Divine chocolate brings delicious fairly traded chocolate into the hearts and mouths of chocolate lover around the world.

Cocoa growers pooled resources to set up Kuapa Kokoo, a farmers' co-operative in Ghana that trades its own cocoa to get a better price on the market for the cocoa and could help them to improve their lives. The farmers decided to create a chocolate bar of their own, and with support from Twin Trading, Comic Relief, the Body Shop and Christian Aid, they set up The Divine Chocolate Company. The fact that the farmers own shares in the company is unique in the fair trade world, Kuapa Kokoo has a meaningful input into how Divine is produced and sold, and shares in the profits.

Cocoa from Ghana is of the highest quality available and Kuapa Kokoo's motto is pa pa paa - which means the best of the best in the local Twi language. Kuapa's premium quality cocoa is now sold to chocolate companies around the world. You get the best of the best chocolate and the cocoa farmers get a fair and secure price for their crop. A Farmer-Owned Fair Trade Company.
