Cocoa Mama chocolates are made blending fresh cream with natural flavours and no artificial ingredients.

We work predominantly with ‘single origin’ chocolate, which means it comes from one source and its flavour – rather like fine wine – is unique to that farming region. We like high cocoa content chocolate, even for our creamy milk chocolate truffles, and use a variety of chocolates including a 30% Dominican Republic white chocolate, a 40% Venezuelan milk chocolate, a 65% dark chocolate made with beans from Ecuador, and a 70% Sao Thome dark chocolate.

All our chocolates are made the old fashioned way, by hand in small batches, without automatic tempering or enrobing machines. We use only artisan equipment such as a dipping fork and a bain marie, making our chocolates with passion, pride and great care.

We blend fresh cream with flavours inspired by the producers around our home in the Dove Valley, Suffolk, including honey, lavender, apples, beer, raspberries and chilli.

We sell our chocolates fresh from the chiller cabinet at The Tilting Sky Gift and Chocolate Shop, Eye, Suffolk, where the range of loose chocolates on offer changes regularly. Also, during peak seasons, our ready packed gift boxes include seasonal recipes and popular regulars with either 18 or 24 fresh handmade chocolates.

 

For those whose natural interest in good nutrition and luxury foods collide, we use a 65% dark chocolate called Oxanti for our Antioxi Artisan Bars. This chocolate is made from cocoa beans from Ecuador, which are gently processed to retain more natural antioxidants than red wine or green tea.

Cocoa is, after all, the fruit of the cacao tree, full of all the nutritional values you’d expect from a plant food. Oxanti is conched in a uniquely gentle manner to retain more of the cocoa’s powerful antioxidants, known as flavonoids. Cocoa Mama’s Antioxi Artisan Bars are packed with flavonoids, which scientific studies indicate have beneficial health effects. See www.oxanti.com for further information.
