At present we give details of 22 chocolatiers from France, Belgium, Italy, the UK, Venezuela and the US and tasting notes for more than 80 of their creations, mostly single-origin chocolate bars. There are big differences between these producers - we compare large international companies with small independent Parisian chocolatiers - and this site is there to help you navigate the growing world of single-origin chocolate.
In addition to details of chocolatiers and chocolate bars we have an introduction to the different types of cacao (yes, not cocoa) bean, the countries of origin, the (supposed?) health benefits of chocolate, advice on how to taste chocolate and much more.
