Charbonnel et Walker Heritage Collection, Fine Dark Chocolates, 325g

There are chocolatiers, and then there is Charbonnel et Walker. Established on Bond Street in 1875 at the personal encouragement of the Prince of Wales, they have been making chocolate in England longer than anyone. The Heritage Collection is drawn from nearly 150 years of recipe archives: the flavours that endured every decade and kept people coming back.

 

Twenty-one pieces in 70% fine dark chocolate. The Falstaff, a marzipan, whisky and hazelnut praline piece and the first chocolate Madame Charbonnel and Mrs Walker ever made, sits alongside Amandes, Crème Cassis, Caramel Noix and Lemon Coconut. Each piece is enrobed by hand and presented in the house's signature navy and gold gift box. Nothing has been updated for trend. These are the originals.

 

A gift that announces itself before it is opened.
