Laurelate is a revolutionary vegan treat made without cacao, addressing the environmental and ethical concerns tied to traditional chocolate. Cacao farming exploits land, leads to deforestation of tropical rainforests in Africa for non-native crops, and tragically involves child labor in its production. In contrast, Laurelate is made from California Bay Laurel nuts, a native species grown sustainably in California, supporting the restoration and protection of native Californian forests, including old-growth ecosystems.
