The people behind the chocolate

Chocolate you can feel good about
Chocolate tastes all the better when you know it’s made with cacao bought from fairly paid farmers. We go one further than that, supporting farmers with the knowledge they need to grow crops that thrive, as part of our Island Growers Programme in Saint Lucia.

This month, we're loving

New, The Satin Black Velvetiser
The Velvetiser™, recast in dramatic Satin Black. Our new colour edition.
An ideal addition to modern and industrial-style kitchens, this colour-edition features a solid all-black body, complete with tactile handle detailing and an extra-dark smoked lid, unique to this colourway.
