I received this chocolate as a gift from a couple of Swiss friends who came to visit me in France. I have to tell you, this chocolate is a pure marvel!
you bite into a piece and finish the bar in two minutes !!!!
do you know if we from France can order it online in Switzerland? thank you.
Dear customer
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to write to us.
Migros sells its products exclusively in its stores in Switzerland and in two border countries, Germany and France (Etrembières and Val Thoiry). LeShop.ch only handles deliveries within Switzerland. Expansion into other countries is not planned.
We hope you understand our reasons.

I also found the number of calories high, however, isn't 17gr the line?
Delicious white chocolate!
Hi there,
Thank you very much for your request.
Giandor White chocolate contains 103 kcal per 17g line, which is a relatively high energy content. It should be noted, however, that this is not a foodstuff in the strict sense of the word, but a sweet which, like all sweets, should be eaten in moderation.
We wish you an excellent day

mmh, delicious!
Where do the cocoa and sugar in this chocolate actually come from?
Guest
That would interest me too. I don't want to eat products made by child labor.

Hello Istanbul!
Thank you for the link.
It sounds quite good that Frey is committed to projects. But then why doesn't Frey have the Havelaar label?
Hello Catarina
At Chocolat Frey AG, we have taken various measures in recent years to address the issue of child labor.
We procure the vast majority of our cocoa beans via trading on the international exchanges so that we can ensure production based on the quantities available. These beans come from various countries around the equator (South America, West Africa and Indonesia). However, we also source cocoa beans directly from cooperatives in West Africa and want to massively increase and expand this direct sourcing in the future. We are therefore well advanced in establishing a strategic partnership in cocoa bean procurement in West Africa. In future, this will ensure that we have precise knowledge of both the production conditions and the origin and can enforce our social standards, enabling farmers to achieve higher prices. This is despite current obstacles such as a lack of guarantee for required quantities, poor quality and problems with on-site logistics. By sourcing directly, we can improve traceability on the one hand, and on the other hand the proceeds flow directly to the small farmers in the cooperatives to a greater extent.
Chocolat Frey AG also offers chocolate products with the Max Havelaar seal of approval in its entire range. In addition to chocolate bars in the standard range, we have also made repeated attempts in the Easter range in recent years, unfortunately with very modest sales success.
We attach great importance to the education and training of children and young people in West Africa in order to prevent poverty and illegal working conditions. In this context, we have been supporting vocational training projects for children and young people in Ghana for many years, and in 2007 we financed the construction of a family home in the SOS Children's Village Asiakwa/Ghana, the upkeep of which we have been paying for ever since.
Another important cornerstone of our social responsibility is the commitment of our suppliers to sign and comply with the BSCI Code of Conduct(http://www.bsci-eu.com/), as the production of chocolate also requires a large number of other ingredients (milk, sugar, additives, etc.) and packaging materials. With the BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), we have a standardized, internationally recognized process for ensuring socially responsible production.
In addition, as part of CHOCOSUISSE, the Association of Swiss Chocolate Manufacturers, we have been working intensively on the social aspects of cocoa cultivation in West Africa for several years. Information on this can be found at www.chocosuisse.ch ( Documentation News). Further information on this topic can be found at www.cocoainitiative.org and www.worldcocoafoundation.org.
We are continuing our efforts on behalf of the cocoa-growing regions of West Africa and hope to contribute step by step to a further improvement in conditions. The main cause of abusive child labor, which unfortunately occurs in various sectors of the West African economy despite the commitment of the authorities, is the indescribable poverty that prevails there. This must be combated. To prevent the poverty of West African cocoa farmers and their families from becoming even worse, we will continue to process West African cocoa beans.
Best regards

Thanks for the information! That sounds very promising and I really hope that this can be implemented.
How many percent more expensive is Havelaar cocoa than normal cocoa?
Is the price difference between Budget and Havelaar only due to this or also to the smaller number of bars sold? Otherwise, the majority of the product range could be converted and the number of units would no longer be such a major cost factor.
The poor sales of Havelaar chocolate bunnies were perhaps due to the fact that they were boring milk chocolate bunnies, neither cute nor delicious. Partly broken too. And Havelaar chocolate still has the reputation of being worse than others.
If Havelaar, then quality too, please!
How about Frey launching the best Havelaar chocolate on the market, something with a praline filling?

While we're on the subject, does Migros also sell white chocolate with the Havelaar label?
Guest
This all sounds very socially acceptable, but I wonder why more chocolate with a recognized seal of quality has not been produced for a long time. In order to be able to ensure production, it is not necessary to buy the beans on international exchanges where child labor must already be expected (with such a high proportion of child labor in cocoa plantations). Large chocolate manufacturers could simply forego some profit in order to build up a truly socially responsible network more quickly. But it's better to take small steps to stick the "social" label on your chest than to forgo the profit.
Hello caitlin
We do not have any white Max Havelaar chocolate in our range. We have forwarded your contribution to the specialist department as a suggestion.
