Here are some suggestions for a new chocolate experience – treat yourself to a day out in the home of chocolate with a Choco Pass, indulge in a table-side constructed Tiramisu, or have artisan dark chocolate buttons delivered to your home.

Celebrate World Chocolate Day with single estate dark chocolate from Grenada

L’Esterre Chocolate is an ethical and sustainable chocolate, made using cocoa from a farm in Grenada, which is transformed from ‘tree to bar chocolate’ in the Cotswolds using just two* ingredients: cocoa beans and cane sugar. The chocolate is wonderfully dark, full of fruity flavours, and is incredibly moreish, even for those who don’t usually choose dark chocolate – that’s how good it is.

There are three varieties with varying intensities and flavours:

  • 70% chocolate buttons: flavours of banana, berries and caramel
  • 72%: sea salt chocolate buttons (*also contains Maldon salt)
  • 85% chocolate buttons: flavours of coffee, caramel, hazelnut

60g pouches of each flavour cost £7, or if you can’t decide, a trio of pouches with one of each flavour is available for £19. Larger 120g pots cost £15 each, and a trio of pots can be obtained for £40.

For all orders made in July, 5% will be donated to the relief efforts for Hurricane Beryl, which has severely afflicted Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique.
