Amigos International, a Dutch company offering organic, Fair Trade coffee and chocolates, has selected Innovia Films’ high-barrier compostable material, NatureFlex™ NK, to wrap its new range of Ananda dark chocolate from Ecuador.

Available in five varieties with a minimum of 70% cocoa content, Ananda, means “ecstasy” in Sanskrit and Pali and is a popular Buddhist name. Says Amigos, eating regular, small amounts of dark chocolate can benefit your health due to its happiness-producing particles, or so-called “Anandamides.”

Amigos believes in Fair Trade principles and works closely with farmers, processors, exporters, and researchers in developing countries, such as Ecuador, to generate local employment. Through specialty stores, wholesalers, and direct online, the company sells exotic tea, coffee, and chocolate, which is organically produced and ecologically packaged.
