Artisan chocolate, made bean to bar for the purest flavours. We use the world’s great single estate cacaos and 100% natural ingredients. To preserve the precious flavour notes of the beans, we make our chocolate in small batches, at low temperatures, taking up to 21 days (industrial chocolate takes a few hours). Vegan. Dairy Free. Soya Free. Gluten Free. Palm Oil Free
