Description

Chequessett Chocolate is based in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and named after the Wampanoag language’s “rushing water”. It’s not only the fact that the founders, Katherine and Josiah, were partial to the alliteration of “Chequessett Chocolate – Cape Cod Craft Chocolate”, but they also wanted to honour the history of the Wampanoag tribe, who are the first recorded Native Americans living in Cape Cod. And nearby Chequessett’s chocolate factory, where the tide rushes in and out of the land, this tidal inlet is aptly named the “Chequessett Neck”.

What is gianduja you might ask… Gianduja is a rich, smooth chocolate and hazelnut marriage. Gianduja historically dates back to Napoleonic times in, circa 1796 to 1814.

Tasting Notes

This dark chocolate is ground with Chequessett house-made hazelnut gianduja. It’s creamy, melt in the mouth, and not too sweet. With a clean finish and well-balanced flavour, this gianduja is ultimately and simply irresistible.
