The chocolate business is based in ‘colonialism and slavery’ but things are changing

She set about forming a new company, the Chocolate Detective (subtitle: “The finest chocolate uncovered by Chantal Coady”), through which she sells both her own creations and those of reputable makers (her “curated collection” includes bird eggs made from hazelnut praline and Ecuadorian origin chocolate, which are especially covetable). She aims to shed more light on chocolate production, making ethically produced quality chocolate more available. The firm sports a logo designed by illustrator Sir Quentin Blake, whom Coady met through Rococo’s work with the Roald Dahl Foundation.
