About

Hello!

Our professional chocolatier, Friederike Matthis It all began over a cup of thick hot chocolate in Barcelona. Our idea was to build a travelling chocolaterie with which we would tour the british music festivals. This is a very important part of our business and every summer we are to be found travelling the length and breadth of the country to set up our chocolaterie at festivals and fairs. If you would like us to come to your event then drop us a line.

It is our aim to create excellent quality chocolate at affordable prices. We are always experimenting with new ideas and sourcing the best ingredients, where possible we always choose local or organic. All of the products are hand crafted in our country kitchen. Working in small batches we take every care and attention to ensure the highest quality is being achieved.

Organic farming on small plantations is in fact the best way to grow the cacao plants. The pesticide free farming allows midges to thrive and fertilize the cacao flowers, thus helping the plants to create the cacao beans from which the chocolate is made. Not only is this organic technique the best way to farm cacao, it is the only good use for a midge we have ever heard of!

We hope you enjoy our products and please feel free to contact us with any requests or ideas.

  • What you’ve been saying

    Oh My God. Where I was feeling despairing, distraught and dismayed I was overcome with delight, deliriousness and felt thoroughly delectable!! It was perfect…perhaps a bit rich, but the first few sips were to die for. It even came with a little dough cake-thing to dip into the thick, gloopy chocolate, like fondue! It would have been ideal for two to share. — Emily T
