Crayfish Bay organic dark chocolate bar 75% cocoa. A true single estate ‘tree to bar’ chocolate bar, handmade and charcoal roasted in Grenada
Crayfish Bay is a family owned organic farm which runs on a cooperative fairtrade basis. Controls of the lands have been given over to the local people and in return for looking after the lands they receive 90% of the highest current price available for all the wet cocoa and green nutmeg they pick. They may plant as many other crops as they choose on the understanding that they follow organic practices and that these crops do not interfere with the cocoa trees. These other crops belong entirely to them and gives them a steady income during periods when no cocoa is being harvested.
Crayfish Bay has designed its own unique roaster which uses charcoal. They believe it to be the only commercial roaster of this type in the world. Charcoal is purchased locally which supports the village economy. All the wood used for making charcoal is the result of storm damage or land clearance. No trees are cut down specifically for the making of charcoal and this system of roasting gives their chocolate its own unique flavour.
Crayfish Bay cocoa and chocolate is also certified organic by CERES which allows them to demand premium price for our wet cocoa. This in effect allow those who work on the farm to earn a better living wage since they are as mentioned before paid 90% of the price of the wet cocoa.
