Why is there palm oil in it? Does it have to be?
Hello martin7, thank you for your question. Chocolat Frey decided to use palm oil for sustainability and processing reasons. Palm oil performs better in life cycle assessments than other oils, as long as the plantations are located exclusively on previously cleared and unused fallow land. In other words, palm cultivation is the most land-efficient compared to the cultivation of palm oil alternatives. Switching to another vegetable fat would therefore require a larger area of land to be cultivated for the same amount of oil. Switching to other oils (such as coconut oil) cannot therefore be a permanent solution; the criticized environmental problems would merely be transferred to the other oils. Furthermore, palm oil is solid at room temperature and therefore does not require hardening before processing. Palm oil can also be easily processed into special fats, which have optimum technological properties for chocolate production (suitable melting point and crystallization behaviour). Alternative vegetable fats such as sunflower oil or rapeseed oil are liquid at room temperature and cannot be processed without hardening. The oil plants grown in Europe or in our latitudes cannot therefore be used for chocolate production and are therefore not suitable as an alternative. Chocolat Frey is aware of the problems associated with palm oil and rejects ecologically and socially questionable practices. For this reason, the palm oil we use complies with the RSPO guidelines for sustainable palm oil. The palm oil we use is also segregated and therefore physically traceable. Furthermore, the producers are checked by the independent organization The Forest Trust (TFT) for additional sustainability criteria (for example, no extraction on peat soils).

What does BFS7 mean after the best-before date?
Hello franziskahuegli, thank you for your inquiry. This is the lot number, also known as the batch number. We can use this number to check when exactly the product in question was manufactured. These numbers are therefore used by the manufacturer for complete traceability. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

They are 40 centimes more expensive than those from Coop but still fine.
I could swear they cost CHF 2.00 in the Coop.

They do too, but the stems are smaller at coop

Hello everyone
It is indeed the case that the ones from the Coop contain less.
When comparing the price of two products, it is important to also consider the grammage, as this has a significant influence on the pricing. If you calculate it per 100g, our product is only slightly more expensive than the Coop's.
Have a nice day!
Best regards from the M-Infoline team

@M-Infoline, isn't it annoying to come second to Istanbul most of the time!
