Our Ingredients

Our preferred chocolate is sourced from a variety of countries including Venezuela, Peru, The Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. Sourcing such a wide selection ensures a good and constant supply of quality chocolate is provided to our customers. The tasting notes below provide some insight into the world of quality chocolate.

Descriptions

Dark Chocolate: Peru and Costa Rica provide some of the best dark chocolates and we believe we have two of the very best. Peru provides an excellent dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 64%, a mix of Criollo and Trinitario beans. This has a slightly bitter cocoa taste with a fresh fruity note, accentuated by a bouquet of dried fruit, tobacco and woody aromas.

‘Costa Rica 64’ is our ethical chocolate sourced from a certified Rainforest Alliance farm. This particular variety is produced from Costa Rican Trinitario cocoa beans. The dark chocolate delivers an exquisite bitter aroma with a strong flavour that is full of character.

Milk Chocolate: Our milk chocolate is from Venezuela preferring to use a blended chocolate which appeals to traditional European palates. It is a mix of Criollo and Trinitario beans with 43% cocoa content. A fresh and lively milk chocolate with strong cocoa flavours providing an overall impression of roasted beans. This combined with a strong accent of nuts, impregnated with vanilla and caramel, results in an outstanding milk chocolate.

White Chocolate: We use a white chocolate from The Dominican Republic which has a light taste of butter and milk, and a suggestion of flowers and dried fruits. White chocolate is not considered to be chocolate as it contains zero cocoa. However, the quality of white chocolate is dependent on the amount of cocoa butter. This particular variety has 31% cocoa butter content, producing a smooth and silky texture with low sugar content.
