It has been owned by The Hershey Company since 2006. Its founders are no longer involved but Hershey has maintained the brand's factory in Ashland, Oregon. The name Dagoba is Sinhalese from dhatu-garbha, Sanskrit words for "hemispherical dome" i.e.stupa.[1][2] The brand was founded with a commitment to socially responsible business.[3] Like coffee, the production of chocolate retains vestiges of colonial relationships, so issues of social equity and "fair trade" arise. All Dagoba products are organic, Non-GMO Certified and Rainforest Alliance Certified. In 2003 CNN/Money called them one of the world's best chocolates.[4] ProductsDagoba currently sells specialty chocolate bars, baking chocolate, cacao powder, chocodrops, and drinking chocolate. NOTE: As of August 2012, all products are Rainforest Alliance Certified, and the company has dropped fair trade certification (which used to apply to the cacao powder, drinking chocolates, and the discontinued Conacado bar, 73% ChocoDrops and syrup) 100% of the cacao beans used to produce Dagoba Chocolate products are Rainforest Alliance Certified. Chocolate barsDagoba's specialty is their line of 2.83 oz flavor-infused bars created by what the company calls "The Art of Chocolate Alchemy™". Here is a list of the current product line of Dagoba chocolate bars. Percentages indicate the cacao content.
