Unwrapping the Flavour: Bean to Bar Origins

At Hill St. Chocolatiers, our passion for exceptional chocolate is deeply rooted in our commitment to the entire journey from the cocoa bean right up to the finished bar. We believe that true luxury lies in transparency, quality, and ethical sourcing. 

We explain the fundamental process that sets our chocolate apart. Being a ‘Bean to Bar’ chocolatier means we meticulously control every step: we select, roast, winnow, and refine the cocoa beans ourselves in our Saffron Walden kitchen. This hands-on approach guarantees the signature quality and intense flavour profiles you enjoy in every Hill St. creation.

More than just a process, our new page dives into the origins of the cocoa itself. You can now explore where our fine-flavour beans are sourced, the sustainable practices we support, and our commitment to ensuring a fair, transparent supply chain. We believe in building lasting relationships with smallholder cocoa farmers around the world, paying an excellent price for their carefully cultivated beans.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes into making truly craft, exceptional chocolate, this page is for you.
