Meet Dave, our Chocolatier, who alongside Jo, is behind the chocolate making here at Braemar Chocolate Shop.
From developing new truffle flavours to experimenting with local ingredients, a lot of what we do starts with Dave in the kitchen with an idea and a lot of melted chocolate.
Many of our chocolates are inspired by Scotland, from local whisky and honey to flavours linked to the landscapes, seasons and stories around Braemar and beyond.
This year also marks 10 years of chocolate making, which feels pretty special.
If you’ve visited the shop, there’s a good chance Dave has either handed you a chocolate to try, been making caramel in the background, or appeared from the kitchen covered in cocoa powder (a totally normal day in the chocolate shop!)...
