We’re over the moon to have won a record Eleven Gold Awards and a Silver award at the Taste of the West Awards 2021 – patron H.R.H Prince Charles.
In what’s been a challenging year we decided to ‘go big’ this year and enter twelve products including all of our new Easter Egg range.
In the Chocolate Category we won awards for….
Sea Salt Caramels with Clotted Cream – GOLD
Half & Half Milk Chocolate Easter Egg with Peanuts and Pretzels. Salted Caramels and Peanut Truffles – GOLD

and in the Vegan Category we won awards for…

Almost all of the chocolates entered are new for 2020/2021. We reentered our famous Clotted Cream Salted Caramels and we’re delighted that they won again. We last entered them in 2015 where they won gold.
We’re particularly pleased that our growing Vegan Chocolates range is being recognised. For our liqueur cherries we now direct source cherries from a small speciality distillery in the Perigord Region of France. Our mixed Vegan chocolate collection and Vegan Caramel Crunch Bar also won gold.
All our chocolates are handmade using the same small batches and artisan techniques that we’ve always used.
Our Christmas Chocolates will be available to wholesale customers from the beginning of October, a little later for retail customers. Our Easter Egg range will be available wholesale in the new year for Easter 2022.
