Chocolarder, Ponsanooth
Chocolarder was formed in 2012 when owner Mike decided that making chocolate might be a fun way to spend his days. Having dedicated several years to learning and working in commercial kitchens as a pastry chef, he began experimenting happily in his own kitchen, making small batches from raw beans and getting intimate with the processes of roasting, grinding and alchemizing to produce fine chocolate from scratch. His intention was to create a product based on the principles that have always been at the heart of great food – unadulterated sensory enjoyment without compromise. No shortcuts, preservatives, bulking agents, substitutions or artificial shenanigans.
