About the bar
This stunning bar of milk chocolate from Duffy Sheardown has been described as the best milk chocolate ever produced by artisan chocolate club Seventy%. It has won awards for the best bean-to-bar milk chocolate in the world from both The Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards, and we think it’s one milk chocolate bar that everyone needs to try.
About the maker
Duffy is an early supporter and promoter of the ‘Direct Trade’ movement, which goes well beyond Fairtrade standards. Duffy follows a ‘Direct Cacao’ model, in which chocolate makers agree to pay whatever price the farmer asks for his cacao beans – without complaining. This premium paid for the cacao encourages the farmer to take more care of his or her crop, from fermenting the beans well to drying them properly. Working like this also encourages farmers to actually grow ‘fine-flavour’ opposed to ‘bulk’ cacao – the vision behind ‘Direct Cacao’ in changing the future for cacao farmers and fine chocolate.
The beans
The fine criollo beans are sourced from the Ocumare region of Venezuela, and the high cocoa content of this milk chocolate bar really lets the flavour come through. It’s an intensely chocolatey experience with chocolatey toffee notes and a hint of jaminess.
Whether you’re a die hard dark chocolate fan on a quest to find a milk chocolate that lives up to artisan standards, or a milk chocolate enthusiast looking to try something a little darker, we’re sure you’ll love this bar.

A very intense and rich bar, you almost don’t taste the milk at all.

Morish and very balanced. A bit too much sense of the milk powder.
