![]() Lindt & Sprüngli buys less than 0.01% of the global palm oil harvest. While these products are important for their melting properties and for providing a neutral flavor, their production under uncontrolled conditions may be associated with environmental and social sustainability issues, including deforestation and conversion of peatlands, biodiversity loss, exploitation of workers, and adverse effects on local communities and Indigenous Peoples.

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.
