Our Story

I am relatively new to this chocolate lark. Six years ago I attended a class at the amazing Cocoa Black chocolate and pastry school in Peebles, an I was hooked!. I then did every chocolate class and the Masterclasses with the UK World Chocolate Master.
I have long been fascinated by the skills and science of chocolate making, and the end results that are so artistic and elegant. So, a bit late in life (but that’s OK), I started a small locally owned chocolate company creating chocolate as beautiful as it is delicious. Inspired by others in the chocolate community gave me the desire to keep creating new designs and flavour combinations. As long as people want to eat them, I’ll keep striving to improve the selection on offer.
