Our Organic Chocolate

Our organic chocolate will carry the new EU logo. This logo has to be displayed on any certified organic product throughout the EU. I think this is an excellent idea. In the UK for instance you have two organic certifying bodies, thus 2 different logos to recognise, then throughout the EU each country may have its own certifying body with their own logo. This one logo replaces all of those and will make it easier for shoppers to recognise an organic product that originates from the EU.

New Machine

We have just taken delivery of a new chocolate machine, which should help us produce products a lot quicker. Just having a new socket installed so we can actually plug it in and give it a try.

Things are moving along nicely and we are on track for releasing the bars and chocolate drops at the end of August.

Organic Certification

My, my, my, this is a busy week. We had an inspection yesterday for organic certification. Looks like we are on track. Our chocolate has always been made with an organic and fair trade base, just that we cannot label it as organic. Once the certification is finalised it means we will be able to officially say our chocolate is organic. This means the milk tasting chocolate drops and the chocolate bars will be dairy free and organic.

Things just get better every day.

Web Site

I am so excited about the packaging I forgot to mention that we have a new web site. Please take a moment to visit www.moofreechocolates.com. We still have some content to add but this will be added over the next few days. You will be able to meet our characters; Hammy Hamster, Mikey Bunny, Maisy Moo, Margery Mouse, Mungo Mouse, Petee Pig and Kitty Cakes.

I hope you like it.

Packaging

We have just received the first draft of the designs for our chocolate bars and chocolate drops. The bar moulds arrived this morning as well. We are all very excited here, at long last everything seems to be coming together. The struggles of the past two years are finally fading away as it all becomes real. I really can't wait, but wait a bit longer we must. I think we are looking at the third week of August and then we will have dairy free chocolate bars and dairy free chocolate drops. Yeah, it is happening!

I am sorry I guess you can tell how happy we all are and we really hope you will like them. Roll on August.
