If ever there were a time to proudly push forward our Great British heritage, then this is the summer for

it. Which is why, as you leaf through our brand new catalogue, you’ll see us in all of our true colours – bold, bright and uplifting.

It’s a season of celebrations and we’re ready for each and every one of them

– the glorious Diamond Jubilee (2–5th June), Father’s Day (17th June) and the fun and games set for the long days of summer. Not forgetting, of course, all of your own celebrations, anniversaries and dates in the diary, from birthdays and milestones, to picnics, street parties and alfresco dinners.

We begin on page 4 with our irrepressibly upbeat Summer Selections dressed in the season’s vibrant neons and filled with our most uplifting chocolate recipes. We mark 60 sparkling years on

page 16 with our Jubilee Collection and don’t miss the Forever Jack range on page 23, showcasing our Made in Britain credentials. Plus, there’s news of our small batch chocolate making at Roast + Conch (page 28) and our unique, guided Tasting Adventures on page 29.

This summer Britain is the place to be – and we’re here to help make it even more exciting!

Cool, Cool SUMMER

Angus Thirlwell, Co-founder & Chief Executive

SMALL BATCH CHOCOLATE MAKING IN THE HEART OF LONDON First there’s the chocolate making, using cocoa beans delivered fresh from our Saint Lucian plantation, Rabot Estate, straight into the small batch roasting and chocolate making kitchen. You can see, smell and, most importantly, taste the entire process in action – from the gorgeous aromas of gently roasting beans, to cracking and winnowing to release the nibs, mixing and conching and, finally, tempering, cooling and tasting. Small batches of fabulously fresh, rare chocolate are made daily in the cellar theatre kitchen.

COFFEE VS COCOA The revolutionary new Coffee Vs Cocoa Bar features a range of exclusive new drinks made possible by cocoa roasting techniques we have newly developed. Choose from our drinks menu written in familiar-sounding coffee language and tell us whether you would like your latte, flat white or cappuccino prepared with freshly roasted cocoa or with coffee beans.

AND CACAO CUISINE TOO At Roast + Conch you can also try our exclusive ‘cacao cuisine’ menu, developed and perfected at Boucan Hotel & Restaurant – situated on Rabot Estate, Saint Lucia. On the menu are innovative lunchtime wraps and open sandwiches featuring confit duck with roasted cocoa nibs, goats’ cheese with walnuts and

dark chocolate, sweet crêpes with salted caramel, or cocoa whipped cream and chocolate.

Also on offer are chocolate and wine pairing – an expert introduction to cheese, chocolate and red wine pairing, with specially chosen cheeses, small batch chocolates and vintage Chateau Chocolat red wine. Of course, the gorgeous range of Hotel Chocolat goodies is also available on the ground floor.

“From our cocoa estate on Saint Lucia, straight to our cellar in Seven Dials – we are the first to be able to make small batches of rare chocolate from our own beans in the heart of London. It’s an utterly unique opportunity to witness the fascinating process, taste the differences between cocoa terroirs and experience a direct connection with our cocoa estate. Forget the ‘bean-to-bar’ that many chocolate companies are shouting about, we’ve moved on to ‘Tree-To-Bar’! This is something that very few chocolate makers in the world could even consider doing and we are thrilled to be the first.” Angus Thirlwell, Co-founder & Chief Executive.
