Palm oil, palm kernel oil, and their fractions are used in limited amounts in certain fillings of our chocolate. Is Ghirardelli using palm oil and is it sourced sustainably? These are major steps towards our target to source all of our cocoa products (beans, butter, powder, and chocolate mass) through sustainability programs by 2025. After achieving our goal to source 100% of our cocoa beans through the Farming Program in 2020, we extended the Farming Program to include cocoa butter from Côte d’Ivoire in 2021.Our own sustainability program, the Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program, is in place in all countries we source cocoa beans from. Lindt & Sprüngli uses fine flavor cocoa beans (Criollo and Trinitario) from Ecuador, Madagascar, Dominican Republic, Papua New Guinea and Peru. It is mainly farmed in Latin America and the Caribbean. Fine flavor cocoa is a high-quality cocoa with nuanced, fine aroma. The remaining 5-10% of worldwide cocoa harvests are fine flavor cocoa. Lindt & Sprüngli uses Forastero beans (consumer cocoa) from Ghana. It accounts for the largest share (90-95%) of total global cocoa production and is farmed mainly in West Africa. Consumer cocoa is cocoa with a robust flavor. A fundamental distinction is made between consumer and fine flavor cocoa. Knowing which of the many different origins of cocoa beans will best contribute to the distinctive taste of a product is a skill that we have perfected over time.
