Cacao grows within 10 degrees of the equator, which runs right through Venezuela.  We pride ourselves with using only Single Origin, Fairly Traded, chocolate in our edibles.  Our colors are all organic and contain no artificial ingredients, just colored sugar and cocoa butter. By not not using fillers, true gourmet chocolates like ours are inherently Gluten-Free and our dark chocolate squares are Vegan. Edibles naturally cost a premium versus standard chocolates- shouldn't they taste premium as well? At Seagoat, we believe they should. Eat. Wait. Enjoy.
