We hunt high and low to find the best quality ingredients we can
Our chocolates are created to a core recipe of a shed-load of sustainable cocoa, a generous dollop of organic fresh cream and butter, just enough sugar, a drizzle of wildflower honey , a pinch of Dorset sea salt… and absolutely no palm oil!. You want
Our chocolates contain milk and soy. They may also contain traces of nuts as they are made in a facility that uses tree nuts and cross-contamination is possible. Our passion fruit flavour is made with a passion fruit curd that also contains egg. This
All our ingredients are free from gluten. However, we cannot guarantee that they are ‘gluten-free’ as the equipment we use to make our chocolates does come into contact with gluten from time to time.
No. All of our chocolates are made with fresh organic cream, so they all contain lactose. Sorry!
Our chocolates are not suitable for people who suffer from a nut allergy or intolerance as all our chocolates are made in a facility that uses tree nuts and cross-contamination is possible. Clearly our Cracking Hazelnut Chocolates also contain nuts.
Our vanilla is natural and plant-derived. It is extracted from vanilla pods, or other plants in which it naturally occurs.
No all our ingredients are non-GMO.
While our chocolates are all vegetarian, they are not certified as Kosher.
All of our chocolates are vegetarian, but they are not certified as halal. Alcohol isn't an ingredient in our chocolates, however a trace amount of alcohol is used in the preparation of our vanilla extract (which is itself used in very small quantiti
Yes, our chocolates are suitable for vegetarians. Clearly due to the organic fresh cream and wildflower honey, we are not suitable for vegans.
Soy lecithin (or soya lecithin) is a natural stabiliser derived from the soya bean. We use trace amounts in most of our chocolate to make it lovely and smooth and flowy, allowing us to create the chocolate ‘crack’ around our rich creamy centres. For
No we don’t. We did produce a vegan microbatch in 2023 which received great feedback – especially on the texture - but at that time the demand wasn’t there to make vegan chocolates a regular part of our range... ... But don’t worry, we have kept the
Our aim is to use as few simple 'proper' ingredients as we can - we're all about 'good' calories!. The number of Calories varies slightly between flavours, but in each case the value per 100g is shown on the back of the pack, along with the other nut
The short answer is no... but hear us out!. We focus on sourcing the highest quality ingredients produced to high ethical standards. Hence we use organic ingredients where we can - e.g. all our dairy ingredients are certified organic. Wherever possi
The first thing to say here is that we (and indeed all other chocolates) are an indulgent treat - we are not a health food, nor are we a meal replacement, we're a little moment of sheer joy that you can choose to have (or avoid!) in your day. Sugar h
Let's start with what's great about palm oil - it's brilliant for manufacturers - it's relatively cheap, it's largely odourless and tasteless and it does exactly what you want it to do, both in the manufacturing process, and in fooling your mouth int
The answer to this is not straightforward! And what even is an 'ultra-processed food'?!?. There are all sorts of complicated definitions, but in layman's terms it is said that a food made only with ingredients you would find in a domestic kitchen -
Where do we source our cocoa, our cream and butter, our honey and our sea salt?. The answers to all these questions are in one of Giles' blogs on the website - you can catch up with it here. Meanwhile, here's some more info about our cream and milk s
As a small British company, we care deeply about the quality and provenance of all our ingredients – including cocoa. But, like almost all small businesses, we do not have a technical department of our own. Thus, as well as hand choosing our ingredi
Although we use very high-quality dark chocolate, our finished chocolates all have centres that include honey, cane sugar and dairy butter and cream - which are not compatible with a low FODMAP diet.
The short answer is no. To be honest, when we first heard this term, we had to look it up!. The bovear UK trial looks to be taking place with Arla Foods and a number of UK supermarkets. Bovaer is a supplement that is added to cattle feed, according t
