Endangered Species Chocolate “Best Vegan Chocolate” in Australia

INDIANAPOLIS – Endangered Species Chocolate was voted “Best Vegan Chocolate” in the 2008 aduki awards: celebrating Australia’s vegan community. Australian consumers chose the Indianapolis-based chocolate company from a list of Australian and European chocolate selections.

Endangered Species Chocolate has been making chocolate bars since 1993 and began selling chocolate in Australia in 2004. Since then, sales have steadily increased and the company has been featured in several Australian news sources, including The West Australian, The Courier Mail and Sunday Life. Australian consumers respond to the focus on conservation, fair trade practices and pure ingredients.

Endangered Species Chocolate’s aduki “Best Vegan Chocolate” award joins three U.S. consumer-chosen Veggie Awards from VegNews magazine. Endangered Species Chocolate has more than 20 varieties of chocolate; all are vegetarian and 16 are vegan. The company uses ethically traded, shade-grown cacao to make all-natural and organic chocolate bars, bite-sized chocolate treats, chocolate novelties and gift sets. 10% of net profits are donated to help support species, habitat and humanity.

aduki independent press is a unique small press based in Melbourne, Australia. The focus is non-fiction books, essays and magazines with particular interest in community, environment, food, migration, politics, social justice and travel. This was the inaugural aduki awards.
