Small-Batch Artisanal Chocolates

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Honest Chocolate Favors Organic Ingredients & Traditional Methods

— August 17, 2018 — Lifestyle
Honest Chocolate sets itself apart as an artisanal brand that makes its product by hand in Cape Town with only organic ingredients and traditional chocolate-making methods.

Rather than boasting the homespun look of many comparable artisanal products, these bean-to-bar products adopted a striking and bright color scheme. The branding created for Honest Chocolate favors clean, modern typography and premium gold foil accents to communicate the bespoke nature and quality of the products.

In all, Honest Chocolate offers its small-batch chocolate with minimal ingredients in varieties that ranges from 80% dark chocolate to 70% dark chocolate with Coconut Blossom Sugar, Naartjie or Kalahari Salt. When it comes to finishing the products, Honest Chocolate tempers, molds and wraps its chocolate by hand.
