Divine is a line of
chocolate bars & products made by The
Day Chocolate Company in the UK. Their
chocolate is fine, but what makes the company quite special is that their chocolate is not only all "
Fair Trade" - but is actually owned in part by a farmer's co-op in
Ghana, which is extremely unusual.
Both these facts make Divine quite a standout in an industry where many if not most cocoa plantations are staffed by child slave labour. Divine is certified by the UK Fairtrade Foundation. Fair trade in this case means that cocoa is purchased at a fair price that allows workers to earn a living wage, in a long-term contract allowing for job security, and that producers must meet minimum health and safety standards, must not exploit their workers, and should actively seek training and education opportunities for their workers. Good stuff.
Currently Divine is available widely only in the UK.
