visit our shop and come and see our chocolates being made…
Our opening hours are:
Monday-Saturday 9am-6pm
Sunday from 11am-4pm
or buy online 24 hours a day!
We make all our delicious, fresh chocolates here in our Notting Hill kitchen. Watching chocolate being made is a fascinating and intoxicating experience. It is technical, skilled and smells divine. Our chocolates travel the shortest food distance from the kitchen to our chilled marble shelf.
Our Master-Chocolatier is Keith Hurdman who holds the prestigious Truffe D'or as Swiss Champion Confectioner/Chocolatier. He became Ambassador of Belgian Chocolate in 2003 and is a multiple award winner in international competitions including a double gold at the World Chocolate Awards 2007.
children's hour
Why not bring your little ones along to learn while making their own chocolates and treats.
At Melt we strongly believe that children deserve the best quality food that you can get your hands on, including chocolate.
"I become enraged when children are fobbed off with bad quality chocolate" rants Louise Nason, Melts founder. "I have four children under 12 and they are more than capable of enjoying the fine nuances and complexities of good chocolate; both milk and dark." - Louise Nason: Founder

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.
Our Site:
Originally the work of web designers Big Fish. They helped us enormously to get our "online" ball rolling and their good work paved the way to our current online identity.
Since August 07 our online collaborators have changed to Creative Made, specialists in emerging digital technologies and online marketing.
Working with the existing framework, Creative Made have rebuilt, refined and added to our online identity. We hope in early 2008 to re-design our online e-commerce site totally.
Newsletters and Direct Mailing:
In addition to the website Creative Mailer support us with the designing and delivery of our HTML email services. If you would like to sign up of our news letters, tastings and events, please click here.
