Based in London, we handcraft a range of smooth, thin chocolate discs using heirloom Nicaraguan cocoa beans and flavoured with carefully selected natural ingredients.
We start by carefully sorting and roasting the beans to accentuate their flavour before refining the nibs with golden cane sugar and natural Nicaraguan cocoa butter. Our flavoured range has the addition of natural ingredients such as nuts, coffee, freeze-dried fruit and spices refined into our chocolate leaving a smooth texture and a fresh, natural taste.
Each chocolate is hand tempered and moulded into chocolate discs, before packing 20 of each into pull out draw boxes, creating a unique experience.
We have 5 flavours to choose from:
75% Dark
Red Peppercorn Dark
58% Milk
Coffee Milk
Salted Peanut Milk
How Contour Chocolate started…
With a background training as a professional chef and working as a chocolatier in London, founder James was Inspired by the bean to bar movement and decided to start his own chocolate business, focusing on flavour, texture and the eating experience.
Starting with years of cocoa bean research, sampling and roasting in search of a flavour profile that had a rich chocolate flavour that would pair well with other flavours, but still had enough character to be enjoyed on its own.
For his flavoured range he wanted to use ingredients in their pure form, meaning no essential oils or flavourings whilst maintaining the same melt in the mouth texture of chocolate, which meant refining all ingredients into the chocolate during production.
To bring it all together James opted for a format that was thin to help the chocolate melt easily, shareable and visually inviting. Deciding on chocolate discs debossed with contour lines and packaged in a pull out draw box revealing 20 discs, adding theatre and interaction before tasting begins.
