Once the chocolate has been made, it is then transported to our factory in Somerset, where our talented team of chocolatiers turn it into the truffles, malt balls, bars and honeycomb that our customers love and trust. The reason why we lov ..read more

At the beginning of this year, we decided it was time to overhaul our existing chocolate bar range and we are thrilled to announce that this range has now launched!

Somehow, we’re already in mid-November and the last 11 months have flown by in the blink of an eye.  Our friends over at The Botanical Candle Company wrote a really inciteful blog post about what to expect over the coming weeks, and we thought it was important to follow suit and write our own.

In Colombia, hot chocolate con queso is a traditional comfort food across the country.  'Con queso' literally translates to 'with cheese'. Hot chocolate is to Colombia what tea or coffee are to us, so it's a really social beverage, most families making warm cups of cacao with breakfast every day. When Colombians are looking to elevate their already beloved hot chocolate, they add a chunk of cheese to the bottom of the cup. Now that might seem strange, but believe us, the creamy, salty, mild cheese really works with the sweet, smooth hot chocolate.  Colombian hot chocolate is mad ..read more

Traditionally, children wander from house to house, demanding ‘trick or treat!’ at every door.  Supposedly intimidated by the spooky brigades’ ‘tricks’ that may or may not be ..read more
