How we make our chocolate

The Art of Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Making at Harris & James

Harris & James craft their chocolate using a meticulous bean-to-bar process, reflecting their commitment to quality, ethics, and sustainability, much like renowned makers Dandelion Chocolate, Manoa Chocolate, and Pump Street. The journey begins with ethically sourced, high-quality cocoa beans, selected for their unique flavour profiles. These beans are roasted to perfection, releasing their rich, complex flavours. After roasting, they are ground and refined into smooth chocolate, with each step meticulously controlled to ensure superior taste and texture. This dedication to craftsmanship results in chocolate that is as ethical as it is delicious, maintaining full traceability from farm to bar.

Ethical Sourcing and Craftsmanship

Harris & James prioritize transparency, working closely with cocoa farmers to ensure fair wages and sustainable practices. This direct trade approach not only supports local communities but also guarantees that only the finest beans make it into their chocolate. Their commitment to ethical sourcing aligns with other artisanal chocolate brands, emphasizing traceability and environmental responsibility.

A True Bean-to-Bar Experience

Unlike mass-produced chocolate, Harris & James' process allows for a deeper connection to the origins of their ingredients. Every batch of chocolate is a testament to the dedication of the farmers, the careful roasting, and the skilful refinement that elevates cocoa into a luxurious treat. Whether you’re a chocolate connoisseur or simply someone who appreciates quality, Harris & James offers a bean-to-bar experience that reflects the passion and integrity behind every bar.
