What is the recommended storage for the chocolates?

Answer: Chocolate is very sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. We recommend our chocolates be stored in a cool (preferably 18-20 degrees Celsius), dry place (cupboard, under the bed etc). If the chocolate becomes too warm, cocoa butter will rise to the surface and form a dusty, grey film known as "bloom". This "bloom" is not harmful — when the chocolate is melted, it will return to its natural, rich brown colour. We do not recommend storing chocolates in the fridge. However, if you do store chocolate in the refrigerator or freezer, let it stand until it returns to room temperature before you use it in a recipe.

Do you have an allergen statement?

Answer: All our products may contain traces of other nuts, cereals, rice, wheat & wheat gluten. Our chocolates contain no partially hydrogenated fat.

How much lead time do you need for my order?

Answer: For foiled chocolate hearts we recommend orders be submitted 1-2 weeks in advance of dispatch. All our chocolates are made fresh to order to ensure customer satisfaction. For gift boxes no delays normally occur, however depending on the size of the order we might need a few additional days to finalise it.

Is it possible for a product to be out of stock even though the online shop shows it as in stock?

Answer: Yes, it is possible. While we diligently update stock numbers on our website, it is possible for some products to be out of stock. We will contact customers straight away should a particular gift box be out of stock, and with our large variety of gift boxes we can always offer an alternative option.

Range and dietary

Do you sell dark chocolate?

Answer: Yes. We make dark chocolate in several styles, including our Dark Chocolate Truffle Mousse. Message us for the current dark range.

Do you have vegan or dairy-free chocolate?

Answer: We can't guarantee either. Our dark chocolate is made without milk ingredients, but it's produced in a facility that handles milk, so it may contain traces of milk. This is mandatory for us to declare on dark chocolate.

Do you make gluten-free chocolates?

Answer: Some of our recipes don't use gluten ingredients, but we make our chocolate in a factory that also handles gluten-containing products, so we can't guarantee gluten-free. Because of the cross-contact risk, we don't recommend our chocolate for people with coeliac disease or looking for gluten free chocolate products.

Which of your chocolates contain nuts, and how do you handle allergens?

Answer: Our chocolates are made in a facility that uses nuts, including hazelnuts and almonds. We label our products for allergens. If you have a severe allergy, please do not consume our products.

What's the shelf life of your chocolates?

Answer: 9 months for crème-filled chocolates and 12 months for plain chocolate. For the best flavour, and to avoid blooming, we recommend consuming them within 3 months.

Answer: Yes. Enter the recipient's delivery address and your message at checkout.

How do you stop chocolate melting in summer?
