Green & Black's Chocolate

Green & Black’s is a premium chocolate brand renowned for its commitment to organic ingredients and ethical sourcing. Founded in London in 1991, the brand was a pioneer in the organic food movement, launching the UK's first Fairtrade-marked product with its Maya Gold chocolate. The name represents the founders' values: 'Green' for the organic and environmental focus, and 'Black' for the high cocoa solids content of their dark chocolate.

While the brand originated in the United Kingdom, production has shifted over the years following its acquisition by larger multinational entities. Today, most Green & Black's products are manufactured in large-scale facilities across Europe, specifically in Poland and Italy, to serve global markets. Despite these changes in manufacturing locations, the brand maintains its positioning as a gourmet, organic alternative to mass-market confectionery.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned from its independent roots to Cadbury in 2005, and subsequently to Mondelēz International. As of 2024 and looking toward the future, Mondelēz continues to manage Green & Black's as part of its global snacks portfolio. This corporate backing provides the brand with extensive distribution networks while Mondelēz manages the brand's sustainability initiatives and complex supply chains for organic cocoa.
