If you havnt even heard of it then have a look, Its made in your own backyard

I first heard of it after seeing him on a TV show of his and after that i bought some and its some of the best chocolate ive ever had, its got to be up there with other chocolate makers like Amedei.

Its well worth buying it if you see it around and are a chocolate fiend like me. :cool:

I have to get some of his 100% cocao sometime soon to try it out and the cook book.

Yes I have tried these they might be pricey. But I think it is some of the nicest chocolate around.

Where they produce this chocolate, in uK?

Not tried it myself, but was on a train up to London from down here last year and the bloke's wife was sat infront of me.

Didn't shut up the whole way yapping to either the poor chap sat next to her or on her phone.

The website says Uffculme Devon.

I new people would have been thinking of something else commonly seen at hens nights

The beans are grown in Venezuela, then shipped over to the factory in Devon where they are then used.

I haven't tried them myself, would you class them better than say Montezuma? I've ordered a load just now, looking forward to trying them

What about Hersey bars, just seen them in ASDA, are they any good?

No lol apart from their Reeces stuff which you will either love or hate. The nutrageous bars are especially good, rate them much higher than a snickers. They're heavenly if you like peanuts

Is it only plain chocolate? I only like the Milk stuff.

Its what ever is on the website. Don't be scared off by the dark chocolate. Its nothing like the absolute **** poor excuse for dark chocolate made by cadbury and lindt.
Its much more fruity and no where near as bitter.

Just don't. They are awful awful bars of 'chocolate'. Seriously.

I saw his series and enjoyed that, I always wondered if he managed to make it!

Hershey's smells and tastes like puke. Seriously.

Is this the fella that had the TV series? Was a decent watch, he really struggled to get the supermarkets to accept "proper" chocolate.

And yes it is very yummy and shouldn't be wasted on women or children.

I quite often buy this as a treat. My local Waitrose sells it and it's certainly up there with the best chocolate. My favourite is the Indonesian 69.

Yeah he's brilliant a true British eccentric. They never said how he ended up owning a coca forest though.

Youstolemyname · 19 Apr 2011 at 19:18

Yup, have tried all of it. It is the best 'dark' chocolate (for dark, read real) in existence.

Thats weird. Years ago I would have said the exact same thing, but now I don't get the pukey taste or smell anymore off them.

Yes, better than Montezuma.

Different sort of product though. It is all about chocolate in it's purest form.

Johno please? · 20 Apr 2011 at 12:43

Hmmm Il have to give Willies a go.

What do you guys think of Green and Blacks chocolate? I find it the best for how much it costs, normally 2 bars for £3 in tescos, I find Hotel Chocolat a bit expensive but their boxes of varied chocolates are pretty damn nice.

I think chocolate is a product thats been de-valued, everyone thinks it should cost 50p a bar, when it shouldn't if made with decent stuff.
