Instagram post 2189920726530611253_4552822621 Its that time of year again! Lots of boxes going out this week. The cutoff for Christmas deliveries is 2 weeks today, Monday 16th December. 
After that we'll do local pickup only until Monday 23rd but can't guarantee all stock available at that point! 😊
Instagram post 2185677967514891296_4552822621 So here's what I was working on yesterday: 100% pure cacao. It's our Kerala origin which is deep and smokey with citrus like acidity!

We'll have these at our events this weekend and they'll be some to try at Taste Tuesday on the 3rd December.

If you haven't got your tickets for Taste Tuesday visit our website (link in bio) to book your place! It's our last tasting event of the year so there will be some extra special treats like this one to try!

Instagram post 2183513631648291886_4552822621 This weekend I'm in #marketharborough town centre for the winter food festival. It's been wet and grey so far but we have a roof and plenty of chocolate!

Check out our new chocolate bar packaging- what do you think?

#guatemala cocoa beans for our 60% bar. Love these beans from Alta Verapaz. Should be on the shelves over the weekend 😊
Instagram post 2153287634491743416_4552822621 Thanks to all of you we just got to 600 followers on Instagram. While it's super exciting to reach this milestone I'm reminded it really is quality over quantity that's most important when it comes to our social media following. I wouldn't trade a single one of you for a thousand fake followers!

To show my appreciation I'm going to give away TEN tickets to our Taste Tuesday event in November.  All I ask is for you to tell me what your favourite chocolate is and tag a friend who would love to come with you.

5 winners will be selected at random on Sunday 27th October at 7pm. Each winner will receive 2 tickets to Taste Tuesday on 12.11.19 starting at 7pm at Barnfield Farm and cannot be exchanged for cash or other events.

Sometimes even under strict conditions things can go wrong. I take a moment to appreciate how cool I think it looks and then melt it back down to temper again 😊

This is our Kerala 65% Dark. It's made with just 2 ingredients: cocoa beans and sugar.

Back on the shelves tomorrow!
Instagram post 2149261515354356170_4552822621 Here's one I think a LOT of people are going to love.

White chocolate & Dulce de Leche

Its shell is made with our 40% Colombia White Chocolate.

The centre is made with a tonne of luscious Dulce de Leche caramel and a smidge of white chocolate just to firm up the texture a bit. *Cut shots to follow later this week!

Again, it's one of the new flavours we are showing for Taste Tuesday on the 15th October at 7pm.

We still have a few tickets left so get it touch if you want to come along!
