My name is Irma. I’m a bean to bar chocolate maker from Malvern and I am very proud to say that I am the only chocolate maker in Worcestershire.

While most people use the terms interchangeably, there is a world of difference between a chocolatier and a chocolate maker. A traditional chocolatier buys ready-made commercial chocolate in mass-produced blocks or drops, simply melting it down to create their fillings and shapes. I belong to a far rarer breed.

As a bean-to-bar chocolate maker, I craft my chocolate completely from scratch, roasting and stone-grinding raw, ethically sourced cacao beans over several days right here in my Malvern workshop before transforming it into my signature bars, truffles, and filled bonbons. This painstaking, uncompromising process gives me total control over every nuance of flavour and purity, ensuring every piece you taste is a genuine, one-of-a-kind creation you won’t find anywhere else.

Making exceptional chocolate means making zero compromises on ingredients. I am particularly proud to use pure organic cacao butter to achieve a luxurious, smooth texture, rather than relying on soya lecithin or other cheap emulsifiers. While these mass-market additives do a similar job at less than a fifth of the cost, they simply cannot match the authentic richness and mouthfeel of real cocoa butter. Every batch is sweetened naturally, completely free from added sugars like glucose or dextrose that are commonly used across the industry to artificially extend shelf life.

Freshness is everything, which is why I deliberately work in small batches and update my menus regularly. You will never find my chocolates stored in a freezer or sitting on a shelf for weeks at a time, because defrosted or aged confections lose the delicate, vibrant notes that make fresh chocolate so exquisite. It is certainly a longer, more demanding way to work, but if I would not want to eat six-week-old chocolates myself, I would never offer them to my customers.

Please see my Facebook page, where I publish the menus for the following week with the new flavours. I can only make a very micro batch (20 boxes of chocolates a week) so it’s advisable you order as early as you can especially if it’s for a special occasion.
