My favourite ingredients are those in which quality and ethics intersect. Original Beans is a shining example. To my mind it’s the best tasting chocolate in the world and also the most ethical. Learning about the amazing projects they’ve developed in some of the poorest corners of the world has been humbling and inspiring.”
