Rococo Chocolates
The award-winning British chocolatier is celebrated for its irresistibly moreish Salted Caramel Seagull Eggs, but their cocoa creations extend far beyond that. From indulgent hampers perfect for any occasion, to artisanal chocolate bars bursting with inventive flavours and the ultimate dinner party delight—chocolate thins—they offer something for every chocolate lover. However, it’s their drinking chocolate that truly steals the spotlight. Rumoured to provide a ‘life-changing cocoa experience,’ it’s crafted with Single Origin Colombian Cocoa. The chocolate is mixed, tempered, and poured into large brick-like moulds, then carefully hand-shaved into delicate flakes that melt into a rich, decadent mug of molten perfection.

Venchi
Chocolatiers since the 19th century, Venchi began when Silviano Venchi invested his life savings in two bronze cauldrons and spent days experimenting with chocolate in Turin. Shortly after, Venchi SpA, dubbed “the most elegant chocolate shop in Piedmont,” was born. With over 145 years of history and 250 chocolate recipes, Venchi has mastered the art of chocolate. Among their bestsellers are Chocoviar chocolates, available in a variety of flavours such as Crème Brûlée and Pistachio Cream; Creminos, a perfect square made of three layers of different chocolates; and Nougatine, crafted from a recipe unchanged since 1905—it must be good. While chocolate is said to nourish both the heart and soul, for those mindful of health, they also offer chocolates with 70% less sugar.
