An introduction to The Real Advent Calendar from The Meaningful Chocolate Company
The Real Advent Calendar is back for 2021. With a regal blue design. A fun way for parents, grandparents, godparents, schools or Churches to share the true meaning of Christmas with children (and adults!) of all ages.
Behind each calendar door there is a line of the Christmas story. Each door has a corresponding page in the story-activity book which expands the story and sometimes sets an Advent challenge. No other calendar enables parents and children to experience the Christmas story for 24 days, and be challenged to do some good in the season.
This year calendars are available as packs of 2 or in larger packs of 3, 4, 6, 18. For those hoping to buy for their local school, class packs of 30 are available or a whole school pack of 210, ideal for your local primary school.
Frequently asked questions
Is the chocolate allergy free?
The chocolate contains natural ingredients. The 2021 Real Advent calendar is handmade in the UK in a place where people also handle nuts, therefore we cannot guarantee totally nut free chocolate in this year's calendar. The milk chocolate contains milk and so is not suitable for those with an allergy to lactose. There is also soya lecithin.
Is the Real Advent Calendar suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, the chocolate is made with natural cocoa butter and contains no vegetable fat substitutes.
Where does the chocolate come from and where is it made?
The sugar comes from co-operatives in Paraguay and Belize. Our cocoa from cooperatives in the Ivory Coast with additional higher quality beans used to create our unique blend, from cooperatives in the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Peru, Panama and Ecuador. The chocolate is made in Belgium.
Why is the chocolate not healthier?
The aim is to make chocolate that most people can enjoy as a treat and as part of a balanced diet. They use the best natural ingredients in their chocolate. If they replaced natural cocoa butter or sugar with highly processed artificial alternatives, then fewer people would enjoy it. So enjoy the chocolate, but be treat wise.
Why is the chocolate not 100% Fairtrade?
All the cocoa and sugar used to make the chocolate is certified Fairtrade. Some ingredients are not yet certified as Fairtrade.
Does the chocolate contain palm oil?
No. In the UK it is possible to add 5% vegetable fat to chocolate. Unlike some larger manufacturers, they don't add any palm oil or any other oils to their chocolate. It's just natural chocolate.
