Hello subscriber!


It's Fathers Day on Sunday June 18th, and we would like to announce a special Father’s Day gift for this occasion.

We have teamed up with Jersey based Tidal Rum to create a package containing a 75ml bottle of Tidal Rum with three of our most popular chocolate creations (Sea Salt Milk, Foraged Fennel, and Dark chocolate with Sour cherry)- while stocks last. The cost for this is £77 (before discount) to include free tracked 24 hour delivery using the checkout coupon code 'TidalRum' which also enables a 10% discount for orders over £69.

You can also go off-piste and substitute (or add!) any of the birds eggs or other chocolates on our site. As long as you order over £69 you can use the same code to get your discount and free shipping (before June 25th).

You can find the Tidal Rum hamper here (while stocks last): our suggested selection of rum & chocolates and the bottle of rum alone here. We suggest ordering before Wendnesday 14th June to ensure your delivery is in time for Father's Day.

We first tasted Tidal Rum in a tasting event at the Rendez Vous club. We are used to drinking excellent rum when we are visiting the Grenada Chocolate Company, so were surprised and delighted to find such a great rum being produced in the UK!

We found we had a lot in common with them – we love the way they use natural coastal ingredients from our British shores to infuse their product with a special flavour. They use Pepper Dulse (a smoked seaweed gathered in Jersey) in their rum, and we use foraged fennel seed from Kent in our white chocolate.

Foraged Ingredients

Chantal loves to forage along the sea shore near Walmer in Kent for her annual supply of fennel seed and Kazz does the same at low tide on the island of Jersey to collect a magical ingredient called Truffle of the Sea or Pepper Dulse which gives the Tidal Rum its unique flavour profile - to discover more watch this short video:

Sea Salt Milk Chocolate

Ecuadorian origin 40% cocoa milk chocolate. Flavoured with Blackthorn Sea salt from the West coast of Scotland and given a light shimmer.
Chantal, aka the Chocolate Detective, invented this recipe on a beach in Cornwall in 1998. Whether in bars, wafer thins or this ‘broken’ format sea salt milk chocolate has always been our best seller. The delicate Blackthorn sea salt enhances both the caramel and the delicate cocoa notes of the chocolate.

Foraged Fennel White Chocolate

Another Chocolate Detective original recipe.
Inspired by Chantal’s early childhood in Teheran, cardamom and white chocolate prove to be a classic combination – the cardamom brings a citrussy zing, while the foraged wild fennel seed from a pebbly beach in Kent brings fresh green notes. The small addition of sea salt balances the sweetness.

Dark Broken Chocolate with Whole Sour Cherries

Cherries and chocolate have a long history.
We love the tartness of these cherries which doesn’t overwhelm the mellow chocolate and gingerbread notes of this fantastic Ecuadorian couverture.

Our packaging is recyclable or compostable including the natureflex inner bags.

Also we are doing an ‘In Real Life’ event to support the Grenada Fisherman's community Saturday June 24th in London – more info on that coming up shortly in our next newsletter, and via Instagram.






With best wishes,
Chantal, The Chocolate Detective
