When chocolate is touted as ‘good for you’ it sounds too good to be true, but science student turned chocolatier, Millie Crook, assures her small batch organic Pure Mill Chocolate, does in fact have an abundance of health benefits, while being delicious to boot!

Like many of us, Millie Crook never really thought about where chocolate comes from. That was until she was working on a climate change research project in Ecuador, South America in 2013, as part of her Bachelor of Science degree.

“One weekend off, I visited a small chocolate making hut in the mountains, bordering the Amazon Rainforest, and I tasted the most rich and lush chocolate. I was fortunate to learn all about cacao and how chocolate starts – from a tiny magical bean, into a delicious, decadent bar, using few ingredients,” she says.
