Together they became almost too delicious. We named it the Bittermint, now our most famous mint, and a phenomenon from the start. Throughout our long history, all our luxury chocolates have been made with the same attention to detail.

Our unrivalled reputation for excellence was recognised when we were awarded a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty the Queen in 1962. A prestigious stamp of quality that has adorned every one of our chocolate boxes ever since.

Today we still pay the same attention to detail at our factory as we did when our chocolates were made in a tiny basement beneath our shop in Kensington. This was where, in 1931, Lucia Benson, our founder’s sister-in-law created a remarkable new mint chocolate recipe. Our unrivalled reputation for excellence was recognized when we were awarded a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty the Queen in 1962. A prestigious stamp of quality that has adorned every one of our beautifully distinctive chocolate boxes ever since.

For us fine ingredients are not an indulgence, they are a necessity. We source our own ingredients; we develop our own recipes, and then we make our own products. Our people are dedicated to nothing less than the pursuit of dark chocolate perfection.
