FAQs
-
Our Islands Chocolate is available to buy directly from our website, through retailers such as John Lewis, Milk & More, GAIL’s, Forntum & Mason and various independent retailers.
-
The only Islands Chocolate product which contains nuts is our Chocolate & Hazelnut Spread. Whilst our other products do not contain nuts, they are made in a factory which handles tree nuts so cannot guarantee the chocolates are free of nut traces. Due to the nature of the factory, and the variety of nut products handled, we cannot list the types of tree nut which may or may not be handled.
-
All of the cocoa for our Chocolate Buttons and Flakes production comes from our farms in St Vincent. All of the cocoa for our cocoa powder and Hot Chocolate Powder comes from our partner farms in the Dominican Republic.
-
All of our dark chocolate products are plant-based and vegan friendly. The only Islands Chocolate products that contains an animal derivative is our 55% Milk Chocolate and 37% White Chocolate as this contains a whole milk powder (dairy). The chocolate factory handles milk and eggs so all of our products come with a ‘may contain traces of milk and eggs’ note.
-
Our products do not contain gluten but all of our Chocolate Buttons are made in a factory which handles gluten products and come with a ‘may contain traces of gluten’ advisory statement.
-
We are in the process of changing our packaging materials for our chocolate buttons in order to make them either home compostable OR fully recyclable. Our current Chocolate Button packaging is technically Type 7 recyclable, but unfortunately cannot yet be recycled in the UK due to a lack of facilities. The packaging needs to have a protective metalised inner layer to prevent fluctuations in temperature from damaging the chocolate which is why finding a truly recyclable option has proved difficult until recent advancements.
