This episode we are breaking bread with Maninder, head chocolatier from the fantastic The Chocolate Quarter in The Jewellery Quarter. A haven for chocolate lovers, with their hand crafted chocolates and their very popular bean to bar chocolate experiences

We had a great conversation. It was good to hear all about this brilliant family run business, and all the amazing things they do. Their handmade chocolates include flavours such as, cappuccino and peach Bellini. They even use more original flavours like bacon with whiskey, for special one offs like farther’s day. They’re current line up includes a selection of hand made Easter eggs, with their famous popping candy creation making a return.

Chocolate Experiences

As well as making and selling some fabulous chocolates, The Chocolate Quarter host a variety of experiences. Their Bean to Bar experience gets lucky participants to actually make their own chocolate, straight from cacao nibs, before getting to feast on lots of yummy chocolate. There is a Bean to Bar experience for the kids to get involved too.

Chocolate In School

A recent change to school curriculum, means that kids need to learn all about the Biology, Economics, Cultivation, Ethics, and Science behind cacao and the chocolate making process. The Chocolate Quarter have been approached by schools to visit and provide interactive, educational and fun sessions all about chocolate. To do this The Chocolate Quarter have started a Go Fund Me page to help purchase the equipment they need to get started.
