Why does La Siembra produce chocolate in Europe?

We produce our current line of chocolate bars and other chocolate-based products in Europe (excluding hot chocolate, which is produced in Ontario and chocolate chips, which are produced in the United States) for the principal reason that there have historically been no viable organic chocolate producers in North or South America that meet our needs of quality or scale. Nearly every organic and premium bar on the market is produced in Europe. That being said, we are proud to be working with one of the leading Fair Trade ingredient sourcing companies in Europe (Pronatec) and sourcing our chocolate from a small, family owned, organic chocolate factory in Switzerland that produces some of Europe's finest quality chocolate.
