COCOBA CHOCOLATE www.cocobachocolate.com Artisan Chocolatier Cocoba Chocolate was launched in 2012, with founder Darren Litton’s mission to bring exquisite real hot chocolate drinks and exceptionally good chocolate confectionery to the British market, and further afield, at accessible prices. The concept for the chocolate brand started with a memory. Darren, Cocoba’s founder and chief chocoholic, grew up in Australia sharing delicious hot chocolates with his grandfather that he carefully made, not from powder, but using real, premium chocolate. When Darren came to the UK, he couldn’t find a chocolate drink that matched the one from his childhood, and so he decided to create it. Today the same love and care his grandfather put into his hot chocolate can be found in every one of Cocoba’s products.

Two jars of 224g limitededition British honey come nestled in Yorkshire hay, with information telling you about the beekeepers behind each honey. The company also pops in a card telling people how to taste their honey, because “the real fun is discovering how different every single honey tastes – it blows people’s minds!” According to the company: “Our honeys are limited editions with their own unique character which is influenced by where and when the bees made it. Each comes from a single apiary and in a single harvest, so they’re all different, like a photo that captures a moment in time reflecting the weather, flowers, landscape and bees that made the honey. We keep the honey as close to how the bees made it as possible, just spinning it from the frame, running it through a sieve and then jarring it – nothing added, no blending, no over-heating. “We write the beekeeper’s name and how many jars of that honey were produced on the side of each jar. We add the place where the honey is from and whether the bees were kept in a garden, allotment, woodland, orchards or by fields. Our limited-edition collections produce only 70-450 jars per honey, making each spoonful a rare and exclusive treat. “Hive & Keeper keep it natural and British, which means everything is sourced from, and made in the UK by beekeepers, artisans and heritage industries, as the company believes it’s important to simplify the supply chain and to tread on the planet as lightly as we can. “Our gift sets are popular as they make an unusual gift, are environmentally friendly and support small scale British beekeepers. We’re very proud of our 4.9/5 Feefo rating and of the many wonderful reviews about our honeys,” it says.
