Chocolate and ingredients

Q Do you make your own chocolate?
A No. The chocolate we use is made in Oxfordshire by a well-respected Belgian chocolate company and our customers continually tell us we have made the right choices for our primary ingredient!

Q What's so special about it?
A The fact that a chocolate is Belgian is not in itself a guarantee of quality. However we have chosen a high quality producer and the chocolate we use does not contain added vegetabe fat, something widely added by many chocolate makers since it is much cheaper than cocoa butter which is what ours contains. The result? A much purer chocolate flavour!

Q What's the cocoa content of your chocolate?
A The milk chocolate we use has 38.5% cocoa and the plain chocolate 51.2%. We don't use use a higher cocoa content plain chocolate because we also use it to make our range 0f filled chocolates and a bitter chocolate around some of the centres would not work well (in our opinion). However, to emphasise the previous point, the chocolate is very pure and the cocoa flavour is very strong. The best way to judge is to try some - visit us at a market or show and we'll give you a sample!
