Looking back on our lovely trip to Colombia and remembering how amazing it is that the beans are cultivated from this tiny flower (theobrome cacao), the tiny insects then pollinate the flower and the beans are scooped out along with their pulp when ripe. Each pod contains around 30 cacao beans. Next the beans are fermented, this is crucial to creating the best flavours. This is where our Colombian project comes into play as the University of Nottingham are looking at the best process for fermentation of the cacao, in order for chocolate makers like us to reach fine flavours.

Happy world chocolate day 🍫 Although this is a

Happy world chocolate day 🍫 Although this is a lovely celebration, it is overshadowed by a dark and deeper meaning.
It’s not such a happy story for children involved in the farming industry in the Ivory Coast West Africa. There are an estimated 2,000,000 children working on the cocoa plantations that supply some of the biggest names in the industry. Many companies claim fair trade but the workers only receive slightly more per ton than the market rate price which is variable.
There are only a small section of chocolate makers that make from bean-to-bar, and source correctly and directly. We shouldn’t question why chocolate bars are expensive but instead why they are so cheap! There is a dark price to be paid for cheap chocolate, please question where is your chocolate coming from and look at the labelling carefully. If you think the price is too good to be true, it probably IS!
Look at the back examine many new companies are claiming bean-to-bar, single origin and buying in cocoa liquor at a cheap price added a load of flavours to mask a bad bean and cleverly labelling.
BTW thank you to my customers for listening to me and trusting our direct trade sourcing policies 😍💓

We have now opened the doors to our #chocolateheav

We have now opened the doors to our #chocolateheaven ! Thank you so much for your support over the last 3 months. We have literally locked ourselves away like little Oompa Loompas making chocolate for you to send as lockdown treats, Easter gifts, birthday presents and graduation gifts and more. You have given us a purpose to continue to do what we love best. My daughter has helped me, often staying well into the night roasting, conching, tempering and packaging chocolates, taking great care in hand writing messages that have some times made me cry with laughter and others with sentiment. Your comments of thanks, gratitude and joy in receiving these gifts are worth more than any of the awards!!The shop will once again be the little hub where we transport your taste buds into a wonderful world full of different nuances as we socially distance and keep safe 🍫💕
