The Chocolate Collection
 The experimental phase involved in the development of a new chocolate is very exciting – from the first moment of tasting a new ingredient or flavour, to deciding which chocolate will complement it best, and finally working out the finer points of the recipe. Then of course, it’s on to the testing and development stage – and there’s no shortage of volunteers for that!! 
Each season, and for special occasions, there will be limited edition flavours added to the collections, these chocolates are unique to the occasion and reflect its special aspects. If you want to design your own chocolates, or have any special or dietary requests, please contact us for further details.

One of our classics, a robust black tea infused with rose petals infused into milk chocolate and a little rosewater. The true romantics choice.

Seville Orange
Seville oranges are only in season for a short time, so to make the most of them we have designed a tangy marmalade with a dash of Bombay Sapphire Gin which combines perfectly with dark chocolate from Papua New Guinea to make a perfect bittersweet chocolate truffle.

Rose Tea A great taste of England, combining two of our most famous characteristics – the fragrant English Rose, and the nations favourite drink.  A smooth milk chocolate ganache infused with these flavours gives a fragrant, caramelly and smokey taste.
Ginger A classic combination of dark chocolate with spicy, warming and soothing ginger, using the finest Chinese ginger.
Strawberry and Mint A taste of summer, fresh strawberries and garden mint infused into white chocolate, for a pink-tinged treat.
Elderflower and Gin Another summer classic, fruity elderflowers with a dash of Bombay Sapphire Gin for a fruity, herbal infusion that soaks into smooth dark chocolate for a luxury kick and special treat.
Raspberry Semi-dried tangy raspberries soaked in English raspberry liqueur from Fonthill Glebe in Wiltshire and blended with extra dark chocolate for a rich and classic combination.
Walnut Liqueur and Cocoa Nibs Cocoa nibs have been branded a superfood, but their role doesn’t stop there, they also have a super flavour! Here they provide texture and crunch, as well as a rich cocoa-like flavour, in a smooth dark chocolate liqueur laced with a decadent English walnut liqueur made by Davis Wines.
Earl Grey Tea  Quintessentially English, an infusion of the finest blend of Earl Grey tea blended with a smooth milk chocolate ganache to give a very moreish truffle, with a caramelly overtone.
Fig and Amaretto Inspired by many trips to Italy, this combines luscious Sicilian figs with the famous taste of the Italian digestif Amaretto, blended with dark chocolate for a perfect after dinner treat.
Sesame seed and honey A taste of the Middle East, caramelised sesame seeds and honey blended in a dark chocolate truffle to give a bitter-sweet contrast between the luxurious honey and the dark dark chocolate.
Rosemary Based on my award-winning dessert, an unusual infusion of fragrant rosemary into smooth white chocolate, with chunks of soft peach and crunch almond praline. Truly unique, and a special treat.
