What could be a better gift to receive in the post than chocolate? (Well, I guess alcohol comes a close second.) So, you can imagine my delight when a box of Chocolate and Love goodies landed on my doorstep.
Chocolate and Love is an award-winning dark chocolate brand that produces premium, organic, Fairtrade chocolate. Made in Switzerland, using some of the finest organic ingredients from around the world, Chocolate and Love boasts a wide range of tempting flavours.
What we thought of Chocolate and Love:
Pure Dark Chocolate Tin
Begrudgingly, I allowed my family to join in the important business of sampling the chocolate. We started with the Pure Dark Chocolate Tin, containing 30 individually wrapped 5.5g chocolates in a mix of three flavours: Rich Dark Chocolate 71%, Madagascar Chocolate 70%, and Panama Chocolate 80% (all suitable for vegans).
My husband and I agreed our favourite of the three flavours was the Rich Dark because of its rounded and subtle taste. We weren’t so keen on the Panama, which we thought was more bitter and not quite sweet enough for our palates.
The tin is a real treat for fans of dark chocolate who love a quality product that is ethically produced and tastes delicious, too. And this item ticks all the boxes, from the aroma of each piece to the taste, it’s pure bliss.
Panama Chocolate Gift Box
This beautifully packaged box has four 40g bars, one each of Rich Dark 71%, Panama 80%, Sea Salt 55%, and Pomegranate 70%.
We’d already sampled the Rich Dark and the Panama flavours (see above), so it was time to try the two other ones in this box.
My husband was pleasantly surprised with the Sea Salt bar, which he described as having a ‘bit of a kick’ and which he chose as his overall favourite. Meanwhile, I was particularly enamoured with the Pomegranate – my favourite out of the whole lot. I loved the blend of the fruit and the chocolate.
Milk Chocolate With Caramelised Hazelnuts & Sea Salt Bar (This is not part of the gift bundle, but it is featured in the post)
We were pleased to find that amongst the dark chocolate treats there was also a milk chocolate bar. This one featured sea salt and hazelnuts, which Simon especially enjoyed because he loves nuts in chocolate. And while I wouldn’t usually go for a bar with nuts in, I enjoyed this one, too.
Final thoughts
My husband and I were impressed with Chocolate and Love. As well as tasting delicious, we liked that this is a brand with a conscience. It cares about the environment and the communities where it sources its ingredients from.
Our 10-year-old son wasn’t as keen on the taste as the grown-ups, but then he is a steadfast milk chocolate fan and doesn’t like nuts in bars either. So, I would say these items are probably more suited to adults, which isn’t a bad thing, because mums and dads deserve treats as much as the kids.
Also, the packaging is beautiful. The hand-painted designs are inspired by the locations the cocoa beans come from, so you can tell a lot of love goes into this brand, hence the name.
