Hotel Chocolat's Valentine's Day chocolates are like taking a trip back in time to a golden age of romance where men weren't afraid to be chivalrous, and women weren't afraid to be swept off their feet.

Introducing Chocolate by Genevie

This weekend I had the pleasure of trying some chocolates from a new UK artisan chocolatier: Chocolate by Genevie. I discovered them while doing research for the Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate I posted a couple of months back.

Chocolate by Genevie supply carefully selected continental chocolates from various European chocolatiers to create chocolate collections that are the best of the best. Their chocolates are typically less sweet than most and because each box is comprised of numerous chocolatiers work the chocolates are definitely varied and interesting.

The guys behind Chocolate by Genevie started the service because they were disappointed with the quality of chocolates generally found in the UK and wanted to create a collection made up of Europe’s finest artisan chocolates.

With handmade boxes decorated with ribbon, silk and had pressed foil stamps they certainly look the part if you’re looking for an artisan chocolate gift that is off the beat and track.

They are based in Scotland and delivery free post to the UK.

For more information check out their luxury chocolates by mail service.
