There is a lot behind a small chocolate baton.

The cacao variety.
The people growing it.
The forest around it.
The recipe.
The pastry it eventually ends up in.

This is our 60% Chocolate batons with notes of peach caramel & rose. 7g each,
for pastries where the chocolate matters.

Our 60% couverture is made with Arriba Nacional cacao from Ecuador, grown in agroforestry systems in the Cloud Forest and made into chocolate at origin.

It’s a chocolate with plenty of character made for pastry, baking and everything in between.

Our chocolate has found a very lovely home at Granger & Co.

Our single origin chocolate couverture is now part of what their pastry team are using across their kitchens. Really good ingredients, thoughtful sourcing and very good hands. We’re super proud to be working with such a great team.

East London has never been short of great places to spend the day and the arrival of the new V&A East and V&A East Storehouse gives you another reason to visit.

One of the most exciting things is that you can even book a free Order an Object appointment and spend time with pieces from the collection that are normally kept in storage. Choose up to five objects and see them up close with a member of the collections team!

And when you’ve finished exploring, you can take a moment at the Café, where you can enjoy delicious pastries and a cup of Río Nuevo Drinking Chocolate, served hot or iced.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan on a sunny Cornish day is glorious.

Trees, flowers, little shaded paths and that lovely slow feeling you get in summer down in Cornwall.

The Jungle is always worth the wander too, all green and tucked away making you want to stay a little longer.

And if you’re visiting you can always find our iced chocolate in any of the Heligan cafés.

Fancy trying an iced chocolate this bank holiday weekend?
Made with real chocolate, cold, creamy, and very easy to prepare. You don’t need any fancy equipment either, just ice, milk, and good chocolate.

If you’ve only had iced chocolate made with powder or syrup before, give this a try. It’s rich, refreshing, and really satisfying.

Chocolate concentrate (makes about 300g, enough for 4 servings at 70g each):

-75g Rio Nuevo 70% drinking chocolate -225ml hot water

Melt the chocolate.
Slowly mix in the hot water until smooth.
Pour into a bottle and keep in the fridge.

To make one iced chocolate:
-Fill a glass with ice -Add 180 to 220ml cold milk -Shake chocolate concentrate and add 70g -Stir and enjoy

Cold, smooth and made with real chocolate.

A delicious and beautiful pastry.

From rainforest cacao to seaweed-based packaging.
Captured and enjoyed along the Cornish coast, a small reminder that everything we make eventually finds its way back.
