The Winter Season Collection

Christmas is approaching fast and we are in full production of all our Chocolate delights for the festive season, including of course our highly anticipated Winter Season Collection.  With the shorter days and colder nights that Winter brings, we have worked on warming flavours and combinations that evoke reminiscences of our favourite seasonal tastes.

We have added the intensity of espresso coffee to one of last year’s big hit chocolates, our Baileys Irish Cream.  And Gary’s favourite Gingerbread recipe makes a return this season matched with a fruity tartness of apple.  Appearing for the first time we include our Muscovado Salted Caramel, Spiced Rum and Sloe Gin chocolates.  This Sloe Gin bonbon has been created by using the gin-soaked sloes from our good friends at the Black Shuck Gin company, a great collaboration of the finest ingredients.

Golden Nutcracker Rouge – Gingerbread and Apple

The warmth of traditional gingerbread spices develops to leave prolonged ginger and pepper notes. Our single-origin spices are hand-harvested and sun-dried, and our recipe is established in the Scandinavian pepparkakor. We have paired gingerbread with a refreshing apple pâte de fruit, and the bonbon is finished with our own blended milk couverture to shroud the spiciness of the ganache. The couverture offers a wonderful cocoa intensity and appealing notes of caramel and vanilla.

Comforting Onyx – Sloe Gin

A new Hunter’s favourite. We are using a wonderful Sloe Gin from our friends at Black Shuck, where we know that the sloe berries have been hand-picked from our local hedgerows. The Sloe Gin adds a warm and distinct dark berry flavour profile that complements our 70% dark couverture on the first tasting, to the lasting aftertaste. This is one to savour.

Massecuite Gold – Muscovado Salted Caramel

This is a classic salted caramel using Maldon Sea Salt and unrefined muscovado sugar that delivers a background of molasses. We have married a milk 41% couverture, where the whole-bean slow roasting process develops a full-bodied taste and pure cocoa intensity. This sits with a background of vanilla that matches perfectly with the salted muscovado caramel.

Yuletide ‘pick-me-up’ – Baileys Irish Cream and Espresso

This festive ganache balances the complex flavours of vanilla, Irish whisky, and rich cream with a blend of espresso coffee. We only use Baileys to obtain the authentic flavour that is expected from this chocolate bonbon. The couverture shell is made from our house-blended milk chocolate, designed to allow the Irish Cream to dance together with the espresso on the palette.

Dapple Velvet – Coconut and Amaretto

We use an unadulterated coconut puree and have combined it with vanilla and Amaretto to create this festive ganache filling. This chocolate bonbon is finished with a 29% white couverture that delivers a creamy vanilla backdrop to enhance the flavours of the filling.

Bottle Green Scarlett – Spiced Rum

Our spiced rum has strong hints of raisins, molasses and Christmas pudding. Perfect for creating our personal take on the traditional run truffle. This spiced rum ganache will release the warmth from the very start of the tasting experience of this bonbon. We have matched this with a dark chocolate 70% couverture to balance the spicy punch of the Rum. This couverture offers a wonderful partner with delicious notes of dark berry fruit and deep cocoa flourish.
