Mark Hix and his gorgeousSomerset Royal Cider Brandy chocolate.
This superb chocolate has:
a punch from the Cider Brandy, freshness from the apple & warmth from the cinnamon.
A final dusting of gold leaf on the finished chocolate suggests this is a true golden apple.
Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers of the River Café inspired melt's master chocolatier, to create a stunning Dark Chocolate Truffle.
... a rich, decadent Italian style truffle using one of the highest quality chocolates available, '9', from the exclusive Italian company, Amedei. A 75% bitter chocolate, beautifully balanced with cocoa from 9 different bean varieties from 9 plantations.
The gorgeous Sophie Conran and Melt have created a sublime chocolate, inspired by Sophie Conran's sweet pies.
a dainty and luscious dark chocolate 'pie' case is filled with a soft, smooth, Earl Grey tea ganache within which is hidden a hot chunk of organic crystallised ginger. As a final flourish, the 'pie' is topped with a sweet but tart cranberry. A truly British chocolate: classic, extraordinary and just a tiny bit eccentric.
Skye Gyngell, the head chef of Petersham Nurseries Cafe; and award winning cookery writer has collaborated with Melt to create a delicious dark chocolate truffle.
... a single estate chocolate made from a mixture of Criollo and Trinitario beans, conched in Columbia. The Colombian chocolate is combined with organic British butter and cream before being hand piped and dusted in a rich reddish brown cocoa powder. This fresh chocolate is truely out of this world!
As with any interesting project - good work always comes from great collaborations, mine with Keith, Keith with his team and us working with some talented people.
