Vegan luxury truffles from Cardiff in Wales are the perfect memory of home for a Welshman in Amsterdam. These truffles are made by Hipo Hyfryd, who state that their mission is:
"to continue to make a large range of cruelty free chocolate truffles that are either original or are dairy free versions without compromising on our high quality taste standards;
to run the business as a community with a flat pay structure and a four day work week;.
to maintain the business as a cruelty free and environmentally sensitive one."
Which seems to me like the perfect business model for a sustainable world. If I were at home these chocolates would be my choice of Valentine and I would call by Pulse Wholefoods to get some. Ah! Still I still have to resist temptation for a while so maybe I can buy some for Easter. A Happy Valentine's Day and love to you all and, if you can, call by Chocolate Covered Vegan who has a great idea as to how we can all do something to help stop cruelty to animals by just clicking on some sponsored ads for the Animal Rescue non-profit.

What a great business motto - especially the part about a four day work week! And the hippo is just too cute.
It sounds like they have a great mission statement. And I've always loved hippos-- they're just such funny-looking creatures that you gotta love them.
I can't thank you enough for linking to me in your post. I found out at work that the Pet Rescue website wasn't getting enough traffic and they were considering having to shut it down because they might not get enough advertisers without more traffic... so I of course do not want to see that happen!
Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day, dear friend!!!
the hippo is adorable! and rose petal? rose+chocolate=I would eat the whole box.
Sounds like that company uses sound business practices. And I bet the truffles are wonderful.
Hope you had a good V-Day Cookie Mouse!
Ruby, I'm for the four day week too. Sure beats the seven I put in now.
My pleasure, CCV. I hope that the link helps.
Vegetalion, I tried the M+S rose chocolate just before Christmas. It was amazing.
Thanks, Jennifer, and I hope you did too.
love it - such a wonderful company! happy belated Valentine's Day.
Same to you, VG! The company read my blog post and said they would send me some samples so this Welshman in Amsterdam got his Valentine chocolate after all.
Aww, what a cute and creative poem! Thanks for making me smile :o)
Happy valentine's dear leighton!
I had to check out your site because I liked you winking mouse photo! I like what I'm reading ... fun and interesting. I will bookmark and return. Thanks.
Thanks, Sonia, and the same to you.
Another Cookiemouse fan, Meg, is always welcome.
