Dark Chocolate Buttons

This is the same chocolate we use for making our range of organic 100g bars. The cacao ‘liqour’ we use to make this chocolate comes from organic certified agro-forestry farms in Peru, typically from Piura and Tarapoto. The cacao is harvested, fermented, dried, roasted and processed into 100% blocks of ground cacao (liqour) at origin. Using organic Colombian cane sugar & Peruvian cocoa butter we turn the ‘liqour’ into chocolate. So our chocolate contains only cacao and sugar. You can read about where we source our cacao here.

This week we tragically lost our good friend Luis This week we tragically lost our good friend Luis Mancini of @cacaotales to COV19 in Peru.

This wonderful man gave me access to so many travel expierences in latin America, we moved together through so many communities exploring cacao. He was a very loved and well known figure in the chocolate world.

Luis reached out to me when he was starting @cacaotales Having lived and studied in the UK he wanted to return to his Venezuelan roots and begin working with cocoa, ultimately as a farmer. Unable to continue his work in Venezuela he moved to Peru, and was in the middle of his success, having met his beautiful Peruvian wife Lily, and bringing his son Luis Fernando into the world. He was in the process of buying land in Piura.

This tragic loss has left us heartbroken and in shock. He was one of a kind, making a huge impression on everyone he met. We will miss you dearly Luis.

The Easter 2021 collection! LIMITED EDITION. Arti The Easter 2021 collection!

LIMITED EDITION. Artisan chocolates made from bean to bonbon.

We thought back to our roots this Easter, as a small business trading at music festivals; this collection of chocolates has been inspired by small is beautiful business. As an artisan producer we can produce something detailed and unique that big factories can’t. 

No eggs this year! Sorry for any disappointment… This time with COV-19 & Brexit has taught us that bigger is not always better, so we have kept it small, and beautiful. Chocolates designed and made by Friederike Gower.

Made from Venezuelan smallholder cacao, organic dairy, sugar, fruits, nuts and spices from around the world.

Mango & Coconut, Salted Caramel; Pear & Hazelnut, Lemon Curd, Raspberry, Chuao 70%, Bramble & Cardamom, Rhubarb & Custard, Hot Cross Bun

Then if you are up for it join us in 'To a mouse' .. in this famous poem Rab empathises a mouse who's nest his plough has disturbed. He apologises to the mouse for humankinds domination of nature, implying that God intended humans to show compassion towards animals. 🐀❤

O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi’ bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee,
Wi’ murdering pattle!

I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion
An’ fellow-mortal!

I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen-icker in a thrave
‘S a sma’ requet;
I’ll get a blessin wi’ the lave,
An’ never miss’t!

Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
Its silly wa’s the win’s are strewin!
An’ naething, now, to big a new ane,
O’ foggage green!

An’ bleak December’s win’s ensuing,
Baith snell an’ keen!
Thou saw the fields laid bare an’ waste,
An’ weary Winter comin fast,
An’ cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro’ thy cell.

That wee bit heap o’ leaves and stibble,
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou’s turned out, for a’ thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the Winter’s sleety dribble,
An’ cranreuch cauld!

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

Still thou are blest, compared wi’ me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But Och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An’ forward, tho’ I cannot see,
I guess an’ fear!

Merry Christmas 🎄❤💯 With gratitude to ev Merry Christmas 🎄❤💯 

With gratitude to everyone supporting and enjoying good chocolate this holiday, thank you 🙌

Looking through pics from these busy past few weeks and selected this one - just a nice morning with the sun coming through the factory windows catching the smoke from the freshly roasted cacao. Behind the orange & whisky centres getting ready to be enrobed in chocolate. The image captures a moment in artisanal chocolate neatly. It's been a real pleasure and we are so grateful to be able to do what we love in these challenging times. 💯🍫❤
