Vivani.co.za

Vivani chocolate products were first presented at Biofach 2000 — the world’s largest organic trade fair — and ever since it has been difficult for sweet-toothed persons to imagine life without their Vivani chocolate.
Our range of organic chocolates is produced at the family business of Ludwig Weinrich and marketed by their subsidiary EcoFinia GmbH.

Philosophy — Vivani invests in healthy agricultural practices.

Apart fom our desire to convince you of the consistent quality of our
chocolate, our major concern is to invest in healthy agricultural practices
in countries where our raw materials come from. By using crops from
Third World regions we help to promote small scale farming to protect
the environment from pesticides and other chemical products. The higher
prices we pay for organically grown cocoa beans and raw cane sugar
results in a higher standard of living for producers in the countries of origin.

What is organic chocolate?

So you can see organic chocolate is basically no different from any other
chocolate, with exception that it is made with ORGANIC INGREDIENTS. These
are ingredients which have been cultivated and produced without CHEMICAL
PESTICIDES and HORMONES and are not GENETICALLY MODIFIED.
There are, however, a few differences in the way Vivani is made, which makes a
huge difference to the end product.

What are these differences?

• Selecting and using the finest ingredients and the long conching process
• (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate - *click on link below), there is no
• need to add emulsifiers like soya lecithin.
• The result is a chocolate free of any traces of genetically modified soy beans!
• Raw cane sugar is used as a sweetener which results in more minerals being
• retained and that the natural taste of the organic cocoa is not tampered with,
• and that the end result is an organic chocolate with a full flavour taste.

How about the quality of Vivani chocolate?

Vivani takes great care to ensure that their organic chocolate fulfils the
highest quality that is demanded of it. The results show for themselves in that
Vivani chocolate has won several awards. By maintaining high standards
Vivani has managed to develop a wide range of different chocolates
which apart from the chocolate lovers' sensory expectations... such as taste,
texture, satisfying the emotions, and the visual effect of unwrapping the
chocolate, Vivani chocolate also reflects the nature and the people of the
countries where the ingredients are grown.

What is important to us at Vivani?

• That all ingredients used are organically grown and certified.
• That the cocoa varieties used are top quality.
• That all the other ingredients used are not synthetic, like the vanilla which
• is real Bourbon Vanilla.
• That lecithin is deliberately excluded.
• That each one of the chocolate varieties has its own unique recipe.
• That the manufacturing process is of the highest standard using the most
• up-to-date production equipment, including a longer conching time.
• That a quality control system is in place to guarantee a consistently high
• standard of product.

VIVANI, the perfect chocolate for any occasion... Enjoy!
