Chocolate Tree – Hazelnut Gianduja (40g)

About the bar

Gianduja is chocolate that has been ground and conched with hazelnuts. It’s a little like milk chocolate, with the ground hazelnut replacing the milk powder – so it’s entirely vegan!

It has a biscuity, bready aroma and a lovely nutty flavour. It’s not too strong and not too sweet, and we think it will appeal to milk and dark chocolate lovers alike.

About the maker

Founders of Chocolate Tree, Alastair and Friederike Gower, started their chocolate adventure in 2005 by touring music festivals and selling their chocolates from a hand built solar powered geodesic dome tent. However, working with organic couvertures wasn’t enough for them. Alastair and Friederike – being the adventurous types – decided to start making their own chocolate from bean to bar in 2012. This was a time when the craft chocolate movement was just getting started in the UK. Chocolate Tree also run its chocolaterie in Edinburgh, which offers a comfortable, relaxing environment for customers to enjoy a chocolate-rich menu. Alastair and Friederike, alongside serving their bean to bar chocolates and bonbons, serve up ice cream, drinking chocolate, cakes, to name a few. They also guide chocolate tastings, to introduce and share the world of craft, bean to bar chocolate.

The beans

This deliciously smooth gianduja from The Chocolate Tree is made from fine Ecuadorian Arriba beans.
