Best of Sunday Brunch

We’ve had the chance to share our chocolate with the nation through our number of appearance on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch. Here, we’ve collected the bars from the show which were most popular over the years.

The highlights include:

Original Beans – Cru Virunga, Dark 70%

This rich and sweet dark bar is deeply chocolatey, with the unique flavour of morello cherries and hints of black tea combining to produce a special earthiness. The depth of flavour comes from the rare Amelonado cacao that grows in the Virunga National Park, home to some of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas.

Fossa – Salted Egg Cereal White Chocolate

This is a beautifully creamy and aromatic chocolate bar, with aromas of caramel and rich tea biscuits. The white chocolate, prior to the addition of flavour, had been caramelised which lends itself to a caramel and biscuity flavour.  The finish is savoury because of the herbiness of the curry leaves.  It really is a fantastic marriage of ‘saltiness’ and ‘sweetness’.

Standout – Sambirano Valley, Madagascar 60% Dark Milk

This 60% dark milk chocolate is a Gold Academy of Chocolate award winner, and is thick in texture, with a fruity complex flavour. It’s an incredibly interesting milk chocolate bar, with little bitterness and lots of creaminess. Fredrik has coaxed out the awesome fruity and citrus notes of the Madagascan cacao.

Willie’s Cacao – El Blanco

The beans for this bar come from a small cocoa estate in Medellin, Colombia.  Willie’s import the beans directly, and then press out the cocoa butter in two very early 20th century Dutch presses.  They then “conche” (think of the way you knead dough to make bread) at low temperatures for over 3 weeks.  And the result is delightfully smooth and aromatic.  You can really taste the cocoa butter and milk.  And there is no added vanilla
