Our hot chocolate range is now made entirely by us at our Roastery in the heart of the Lake District. Keep reading below to find out what makes our hot chocolate special.

Handmade by us

All our chocolates are made by us at our Roastery in the Lake District

Cocoa Mass

The heart of our chocolate is the cocoa mass we source from trusted suppliers

Cocoa Butter

We use cocoa butter in some of our chocolates to create a velvety, smooth texture

The Ingredients

We start with the raw ingredients: cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar, milling them together to make chocolate to our own carefully thought out recipes.

Cocoa Mass

We start with cocoa mass, the pure, unsweetened, ground-up heart of roasted cacao beans. We source ours from Rainforest Alliance certified farms.

Cocoa Butter

Some of our hot chocolates also include additional cocoa butter. This is sourced from West Africa.

Sugar

And then we add sugar to sweeten it all up. We use British caster sugar.

The Process

Watch our video below to find out how we make our hot chocolate

Our Chocolate Mill

Our mill contains hundreds of stainless steel ball bearings which ensure a smooth end product.
We add all the ingredients, which are continuously mixed and cycled through the ball mill.
Once ready we cool the chocolate on trays

Granulating

The final stage is to break the chocolate up and pass it multiple times through our granulator.
