What On Earth forms new distribution partnership with GO*DO

We've been making friends (both business and social) here at What On Earth and we are pleased to announce that we are now officially good friends with GO*DO.  What's more, we have become such good friends that we are going to be supplying GO*DO's delicious organic Italian chocolate.  Bellissimo!

We will be supplying the full range of GO*DO's organic chocolate bars - that's six different flavours.  We can vouch for the fact that they are all tasty too.  We know, we've tried them!  The flavours are:

• Milk chocolate cocoa 34%
• Milk chocolate 34% and Hazelnuts
• Dark chocolate cocoa 60%
• Dark chocolate cocoa 60% espresso coffee
• Dark chocolate 69% & Sicilian almonds
• White chocolate vanilla

See, even the names sound tasty. 

The chocolate is produced by a family owned chocolatier in Italy who buys organic cocoa beans direct from the farmers.  That is why it tastes so darn good!  The chocolate is already popular in Italy and Japan and now it is making an appearance in the UK.

Here is the business low down for the retailers - the bars are 35g in size and will be otainable in cases of 30. 

The consumer low down?  Well, you guys can buy the bars individually from a selection of stores.  You can pick whatever flavour you want and buy as many as are on the shelves! 

GO*DO is a relatively new company - it launched in 2010.  Since then it has already won some excellent awards.  Check out the website - www.godochoc.com.  Also, get out there and try the chocolate for yourself. 

Peace, love and pizza (and chocolate!)
