Subscriptions
Cocoa Runners has a monthly subscription service with a selection of four chocolate bars delivered in a box specially designed to fit through your letterbox. These bars are carefully chosen around themes which showcase latest developments and the characteristics of “bean-to-bar” chocolate. “Under the wrapper” tasting cards complement each bar, bringing you the stories behind the chocolate, makers and growers. Great for gifts or for your own enjoyment. Find out more here
“There are amazing worlds of chocolate out there, here’s a great way to explore them … each month it’s a total surprise as to what you’ll get and it’s a great way to experiment and discover new bars” (Observer, April 2020)
Tastings
Craft chocolate provides an amazing way to try something that not only tastes better, but is also better for you and better for the planet. Cocoa Runners offers a unique way to discover more about the difference between taste and flavour, astringency and bitterness, and what causes the different textures in chocolate. You’ll explore and learn to appreciate the way flavour and taste develop like a wave, and the importance of checking the label before you buy. Tastings include a guided tour of how chocolate is grown and crafted (from the cocoa tree to the final bar) – delving into the wacky history and incredible socioeconomic impact of chocolate along the way.
