Welcome. We test the best and the worst that both small chocolatiers and international companies have to offer. All reviews are completely unbiased regardless of whether we are sent the products or buy ourselves, or whether we have an advertising relationship with the supplier. That is our guarantee and our promise. And we're now about to start on our epic reviews of Easter eggs which we always look forward to.

One of most favourite confectionery is chocolate covered honeycomb. I know big companies make it, but I doubt any would make it as well as this.

Oialla Organic Wild Chocolate from Beni, Bolivia

Oialla Organic Wild Chocol...

This 70% dark chocolate bar made with wild Bolivian cacao, but not from Felchlin, is very soft, mild and fragrant. But that shouldn't deter those who love aggressive chocolate from trying it.

This blog mostly features the best fine and gourmet products from artisan chocolatiers such as Amedei, Amano, Beschle, Domori, Mast Brothers, Michel Cluizel, Paul A. Young, Pralus, Valrhona and Venchi but we also do reviews of other good, but perhaps not so well-known companies as Booja Booja, Charbonnel et Walker and Hotel Chocolat as well as popular chocoaltes such as Galaxy Counters. I also look at gifts and experiences such as chocolate making workshops, but as they cost a fair amount I don't get to go on enough of them.
