  • Totally exceeded expectations in look and taste except though for one thing, after we finished the last one the box didn't magically fill back up again! Absolutely first class, highly recommend.

  • Absolute visually stunning chocolates that would make an amazing gift. I purchased the collection box and struggled to decide on my favourite as all were delicious.

Two stars at the Great Taste Awards, 2025

Judged blind by chefs and buyers, on flavour alone. The shells are hand-painted with coloured cocoa butter, the fillings are fresh ganache made in small batches, and the flavours change every month rather than sitting still.

Made by hand in Cumbria. Posted anywhere in the UK.

In warm weather every order is packed with ice packs and dispatched on the cooler days, so it arrives the way it left.
