Farmers in the Spotlight
Askinosie ChocolateA pioneer in direct trade chocolate, this Missouri father-daughter business works closely with small cacao farmers in Ecuador, the Amazon, the Philippines, and Tanzania. You can’t go wrong with any of their single-origin bars, but the ultra-creamy white chocolate, made with house-pressed cocoa butter and goat’s milk powder, is a skeptic-converting standout. $12, Askinosie.com
