Wild Gorse Flower Chocolate

The Wild Gorse Flower milk chocolate bar from Chocolarder tastes of coconut with hints of fudge and roast nut, ending in light red fruit. Picked by hand in late spring from the prickly hedgerows that line the rugged Cornish coastal path, these small yellow flowers are a right pain in the fingers to harvest! However, once steeped in cocoa butter pressed from Chocolarder's own beans, the flowers impart their heady warm coconut scent to their milk chocolate for a unique flavour that makes it all worthwhile.

About the designer...

Chocolarder is a small, ethical bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker based in Cornwall. Everything that comes out of their factory is made with only the best ingredients, sourced locally where possible, in the seaside town of Falmouth. Founded in 2012, Chocolarder started as the passion project of Mike Longman, a former pastry chef. It was Mike’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices that led to Chocolarder standing for more than just great flavour. In Mike’s own words: 'If you’re going to put that much time and effort into making something, whether it’s pastries or chocolate, you don’t want to be using cheap, rubbish ingredients. You want to be looking for something ethical and high-quality. You want to be using the best.'
