Nº 00The house rules

Three things we never compromise.

i.

Single-origin cacao

Beans from one farm, one harvest, so each bar carries the true character of its terroir.

ii.

Small-batch craft

Stone-ground and conched slowly in batches of forty, never on an industrial line.

iii.

Ethically sourced

Direct-trade partnerships paying above market rate, with full traceability to the grower.

Nº 01The Tasting

A flavour you can read like a wine list.

Our 72% Ecuador bar opens bright and finishes long. Let a square melt slowly on the tongue and the notes arrive in order, the way they were always meant to.

Nº 02 The Maker

It started with one disappointing bar.

In 2016, our founder Elise tasted chocolate at a cacao farm in Ecuador and realised the bars back home tasted nothing like it. Industrial chocolate had stripped out everything that made it remarkable. So she went back, learned the craft, and started making it properly.

We do not rush a single step. Good chocolate, like anything worth having, takes its time.

I genuinely cannot eat supermarket chocolate any more. The 72% bar is so smooth it feels like it melts before you chew.

Bought the gift box for my dad and ended up ordering a second for myself. The tasting card made us slow down and notice the flavours.

The subscription is the best thing I have signed up for. A new origin every month, beautifully wrapped, and never a dud.

Nº 07Good to know

Questions, answered.

How is Truffe different from chocolate I buy at the shop?
Every bar is made from single-origin cacao in batches of around forty, then slow-conched for up to 72 hours. We never add vegetable fats or fillers, so the flavour comes entirely from the bean. The result is a smoother melt and a cleaner finish than mass-produced bars.
Will it melt or arrive damaged in transit?
We ship in insulated, recyclable packaging and, during warmer months, add a complimentary cool pack at no extra cost. If anything arrives less than perfect, our taste guarantee has you covered.
What is the taste guarantee?
If your first order does not become a new favourite, contact us within 30 days and we will refund it in full or send a replacement. No need to return what is left. We would rather you loved it.
Can I pause or cancel the subscription?
Any time, from your account, in a couple of clicks. Skip a month, swap your selection, change the delivery date or cancel outright. There is no minimum term and no fee.
Are there allergens I should know about?
Our bars are made in a facility that also handles tree nuts, milk and soya, so they may contain traces even where not listed as an ingredient. Full ingredient and allergen information is printed on every wrapper and on each product page.
Do you offer free delivery?
Yes. Delivery is free on all orders over £30, and always free on subscriptions. Standard orders ship within 24 hours on business days.
Risk-free
