Great Taste Awards Winners 2025 – Milk and Inclusions

About the box

It’s that time of year again… the results for the 2025 Great Taste Awards have been released, and a handful of our makers have scored big. We’ve put together this collection of milk and inclusion chocolate bars, ranging from awards of one star to three stars, so you can sample the chocolate for yourself!

The box comes beautifully presented in a Cocoa Runners giftbox; the perfect gift for any chocolate lover.

This box contains:

Three stars: Ocelot – Virunga, DR Congo, Dark 70% with Blood Orange

This bar from Ocelot is the craft chocolate version of the much-loved British ‘chocolate orange’. The smooth 70% chocolate has been infused with tangy blood oranges, and a splash of creamy vanilla.

Two stars: Standout – PISA, Haiti, Dark Milk 60%

This 60% dark milk chocolate has a smooth melting texture. It’s fudgy with a toasty and malted flavour. It’s an incredibly interesting milk chocolate bar, with little bitterness and lots of creaminess.

Two stars: ChocoMe – Bejofo, Madagascar, Dark 69% with Candied Yuzu Peel

With Åkesson’s Madagascan cocoa beans already bursting with bright citrus and red berry notes, ChocoMe thought it felt only natural to pair them with something equally bold — candied yuzu peel. Yuzu, a prized citrus fruit from Japan, adds an unmistakable zesty, tangy flavour with just a touch of bitterness. Together, they create a bar that’s vibrant, aromatic, and full of character — a perfect meeting of terroir and taste.

One star: Firetree – Sambirano Valley, Madagascar, Dark 84%

This high-percentage bar enjoys zesty notes of raspberries and sweet red fruits with a pleasing astringency on the finish.
