GREAT BRITAIN CHOCOLATE
WILLIE´S CACAO
Willie´s Cacaco chocolates were bort of love and adventure. Owner Willie Harcourt-Cooze buys in Venezuela Hacienda El Tesoro, place where it grows best cacao. His chocolate is all about flavour. Great cacaos are like fine wines, each one with own stunningly individual flavour born of its specific genetics, soil and climate. One might taste naturly of nuts, another of summer fruits. He buys single estates cacaos direct from the farmers, roast them in antique ball roaster and make them into chocolate using just raw cane sugar and natural cocoa butter – no soya lecithin, no vanila, nothing that gets in teh way of the flavour of the bean.

Seed and Bean are getting personal with Cocoa suppliers and growers so they can better understand the issues and controls they have.

MICHEL CLUIZEL
For three generations, the Cluizel family has evolved amidst fragrances of chocolate. With the help of skilled Cacaofèviers®, Confectioners and Chocolate Makers, the family carries on with their tradition, where everything started: in Damville, Normandy. The Manufacture Cluizel developed a direct, sustainable relation with cocoa planters. This fair commitment is a pledge of quality.
A genuine, natural taste, this is what the self demanding chocolaterie always strives for.To achieve this, cocoa beans are fermented according to a skilfully controlled technique, at the planter’s premises. Then, everything is made at the Manufacture Cluizel: from the slow roasting process that perfectly reveals all the cocoa flavours, to the subtle decorations which are often handmade. This results in a range of tastes from unique soils, emphasized by traditional or innovative recipes: Michel Cluizel’s chocolates.
