Alter Eco®, pioneer of fair trade and organic foods carefully crafted to entice the senses, is giving real chocolate lovers a reason to rejoice with the launch of four new flavors: Dark Salt & Malt, Dark Salted Almonds, Dark Super Blackout and Dark Mint Truffles.

The new dark chocolate varieties bars boast at least 70% cocoa, while the truffles contain 58% cocoa.
