Our giant

chOcOlATE SlABSWhen molten chocolate is poured out to cool on a marble-topped chocolatier’s table, it naturally sets into a gorgeously fluid shape. And that is the inspiration behind our range of half-kilo slabs, whose tactile curves have become icons of the Hotel Chocolat range.

When we made the very first samples they looked way too thick and far too extravagant… perfect we said as we watched them set.

THE 45TH COCOA FARMER iN ST LUCiA has just joined our Engaged Ethics programme. “it’s really motoring now” said Phil Buckley Director from our Rabot Estate. in short we offer farmers a guaranteed market for all their cocoa beans at a rate some 30% above the prevailing market price. in addition we provide technical expertise and take the beans ‘wet’, carrying out the all-important fermentation and drying stages at our central facility. This has kick-started a renewed interest in cocoa growing in St Lucia amongst our neighbouring farmers, leading to the creation of at least 100 new agricultural jobs.

Now see the video and take a tour of Rabot Estate www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/rabot

lESS SuGAr MOrE cOcOA —its one of things that makes our chocolate taste different. sugar is the cheapest ingredient so its no illusion that most chocolate seems to have become sweeter and sweeter.USiNG LESS SUGAR in our unique recipes means that the true tastes are revealed, unencumbered by excessive sweetness.

OUR 40% COCOA MiLK CHOCOLATE – a unique recipe that is milky yet with a long lasting cocoa hit. Typically “high quality” milk chocolate only reaches a maximum of 35% cocoa solids.

OUR 50% COCOA MiLK CHOCOLATE – goes a step further… even less sugar and more cocoa but still extremely creamy and smooth. Also known as our Macho Milk.

Try both these in the Milk Chocolate Selector pack £15 - see p.47

OUR 74% COCOA DARK CHOCOLATE – our house dark chocolate has deep and pronounced cocoa notes with just enough fruitiness to perk up the taste buds.

Try this and more in the Dark Chocolate Selector pack £15 - see p.47

OUR PURiST RANGE This takes cocoa bean worship as far as possible. No vanilla, no soya lecithin just rare cocoas from estates around the world - including our own Rabot Estate - cast into award winning slim Purist tablets. From ultra high cocoa 62% milks to an Organic 100% Cocoa that takes some getting used to but must be tried by any committed chocolate adventurist!
