Of love and literature
We love their whimsical names and packaging as much as their cacao. From the cranberry chilli chase to the hazelnut hour to the mango menace to the roasted almond revival, the secret life of nuts and raisins, the white paradox, when coffee met cacao, lost in an orange haze, matcha prince and the blue pea, memories of a brown harvest, of open roads and peanut hills, and more, there is a whole range of chocolates to suit every palate.
