Tony's Chocolonely sets itself apart as a fair trade, B-Corp certified company that is passionate about making all chocolate in the world 100% slave-free—and the Chocotruck at South by Southwest highlights this mission. The company is kicking off its all-new experiential multi-city United States Chocotruck tour at SXSW in Austin, Texas, giving people the chance to sample its many chocolate products and learn about inequality in the cocoa industry.
At the Chocolate Bar, SXSW attendees will be able to taste and purchase classic Tony's Chocolonely products, including a special mix-and-match Chocotruck box set of bars. The Chocotruck also gives people the chance to go on an interactive Bean to Bar Journey through the chocolate supply chain to see the many ways that the company does things differently.
