Chococo

Chococo was set up by husband & wife team Andy & Claire Burnet in late 2002 and they have established themselves as one of the UK’s leading contemporary chocolate makers with a passion for freshness, purity and provenance.

As well as using origin Venezuelan chocolate, and ethically sourced ingredients, there’s a real emphasis on using local produce and you’ll find fresh cream from Craig’s Farm Dairy, Field Honey Farms honey, Denhay butter, Somerset cider brandy, Long Barn apple & lavender jelly, Bramley & Gage fruit liqueurs and Old Thumper concentrate from Ringwood Brewery featuring in the chocolates.

Visitors to Cocoa Central in Swanage on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, can watch the chocolates being made through a viewing window into their workshop, buy from the shop opposite and also now enjoy delicious hot chocolates made with fresh Dorset milk, chocolate fondues, ice cream sundaes (with local Purbeck Ice Cream), freshly ground coffees and locally handmade cakes in Chococo’s new chocolate cafe.

Chococo have a long list of accolades; 25 fine food awards, including a coveted 3 Star Gold Award for their Blackcurrant Beauty fresh chocolate in the 2009 Great Taste Awards & a 2009 Gold Academy of Chocolate Award for their Gorgeous Ginger, Inspirational Food Business in the Taste of Dorset awards 2009 & Best Food Producer in the Dorset Food & Drink awards 2007. Claire is now also a member of the Academy of Chocolate.

Constantly innovating, they create not only a wide selection of hand-dipped fresh truffles & chocolates but also edible decorated chocolate boxes, slabs & bars studded with fruits, nuts & spices, hot chocolate mixes, chocolate fridge cakes, handmade tablet and hand-dipped organic dried fruits.
