June 2025 Violet Cream Day
|
|
These classic floral creams, much loved by many, had a lovely mention from Annalisa Barbieri, in her Observer 'Notes on Chocolate' a while back.
|
|
|
|
Granny's faves still delight. Rose and violet creams are a very English chocolate and definitely old fashioned - but the Chocolate Detective's offering is delicate and delicious.
|
|
|
Others might say it's more of a "Marmite" love/hate thing - if so we have lots of other wonderful Bird Eggs and the new edition of our favourite Ecuadorian chocolate below.

A Rare Chocolate Experience
|
Susana Cárdenas’ award-winning Tierra Hermosa collection is back—but only in limited supply.
|
This Tierra Hermosa collection is unique and the flavours exceptional: elegant, well-balanced and full of complex fruit, flower and honey notes. Susana is working with a woman chocolate maker to produce these bars and the results speak for themselves - in spite of tough growing conditions in Ecuador last year, resulting in a tiny harvest of these rare & precious beans.
|
|
Susana brought us a few bars in her hand luggage on a recent visit to London, so when they are gone, they're gone!
