We’ve been interviewed about our chocolates, our shop in Henley, and how we come up with new ideas!
Foodies Magazine (September 2008)

On our Fresh Mint Truffles Easy Living Magazine said
'but this is a serious, sophisticated improvement on an old favourite; the Fresh Mint Truffles are totally irresistible. It might sound obvious, but they really do taste like fresh mint!" and on our Champagne truffles they say "they came up trumps in our taste test, and were called "lusciously melt-in-the-mouth" by one enthusuastic panel member'

It's Not Only For Girls
'They might be called 'man chocs' but there's nothing burly about them; they're still pretty refined chocs in my book. First up was a 70% cocoa coffee cream with a delicate sprinkling of Demerara sugar on top- strong flavours but velvety smooth texture. They also couldn't resist the currently popular combo of chocolate and chilli, blending a range of different chillies with dark choc and cream to create a surprisingly smooth truffle with a kick.'
