When molten chocolate is poured out to cool on a marble-topped chocolatier’s table, it naturally sets into a gorgeously fluid shape. And that is the inspiration behind our range of half-kilo slabs, whose tactile curves have become icons of the Hotel Chocolat range. When we made the very first samples they looked way too thick and far too extravagant… ‘Perfect’ we said as we watched them set.When for – film night nibbling, snapping and sharing over coffee, me-time moments… and whenever the mood takes you.

At the historic Rabot Estate on the island of St Lucia we’re doing something that very few chocolate makers can do – we grow our own cocoa.

But that’s not all, because there’s an enormous disparity between those who grow the vast majority of the world’s cocoa and those of us who enjoy the final product, chocolate. And because we wanted to be involved in a hands-on way we created a unique programme called Engaged Ethics, which is helping cocoa growing communities in Ghana and St Lucia.

In Ghana we provide over 100,000 cocoa seedlings a year so farmers can increase their cocoa yields; we fund an expert to give farming advice; we’ve sunk a borehole that provides seven villages with clean water ; and this year we intend to purchase a truck so we can reach farmers further afield.

In St Lucia, we’re helping to revitalise the island’s cocoa sector through our Cocoa Growers Programme – offering farmers free advice and assistance; the supply of high quality Trinitario seedlings; as well as a guaranteed market for their beans, bought at prices above those of the world market.

Engaged ETHiCsCocoa Beans from our own estate in St Lucia

The 72nd cocoa farmer has just joined our Engaged Ethics Cocoa Programme in St Lucia, helping us to achieve our biggest harvest yet – which in turn is helping us to put St Lucia back on the cocoa map

“” – Angus

ThE NEW PuRiST RaNgE – coming soon!We’re the first chocolatier to ever make chocolate from only St Lucian beans and you can experience the full flavour nuances of Rabot Estate’s heirloom cocoa in our Purist range.
