Booja Booja (luxury vegan chocolates from Norfolk)
Booja Booja is a Norfolk brand of luxury vegan chocolate (it also makes dairy-free ice-creams), sold in health stores, farm shops and some supermarkets. This company has been around for over 25 years, the luxury boxes (and Easter egg packaging) given income to Kashmir artists, who work from home during freezing Himalayan winters).
Avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. Keep chocolate away from pets (due to cocoa, dried fruits, nuts, nutmeg and xylitol – use letterbox guards for home delivery). Read more on food safety for people and pets.
Choose Fair Trade chocolate (cocoa is grown by some of the poorest farmers on earth). Although plastic chocolate wrappers are a litter hazard, some ‘compostable packaging’ is from flammable eucalyptus plantations (causes wildfires), so choose brands in paper or cardboard, if possible.
These chocolate are expensive but also very rich, so the perfect occasional treat for special days. Sold in boxes of single or mixed flavours, the range includes:
- Fine de Champagne
- Hazelnut Crunch
- Almond Salted Caramel
- Espresso
- Raspberry Ecuadorian
- Stem Ginger
- Around Midnight Espresso
- Orange Chocolate
- Easter Eggs
- Hot Chocolate
Booja Booja also sells Christmas decorations, again to support Kashmir artists. These are not toys, so keep away from children and pets (read more on keeping pets safe at Christmas).
