Hotel Chocolat and Soklet

Two new chocolate finds… one a UK brand and the other Indian Cacao – both winner of Academy of Chocolate awards

Hotel Chocolat

Thanks to a BBC Sony Earth documentary, I happened to learn about this brand. Thanks to my friend for getting me samples of the chocolates from UK

Checkout the details of the flavor profiles. A few of my favorites – the 80% St. Lucia, 100% Honduras

Soklet

This is an Indian tree to bar brand based in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. Really smooth chocolate which highlights the acidic notes of Indian cacao. They have indian flavors like filter coffee, roasted garlic, hibiscus, etc. Interestingly, their packaging is based on the borders in the Kancheepuram silk sarees.
