Our Process Begins on
​the Farm...

Over the last few years we've had more hill and gully rides than you can imagine! We've searched the island to find a wonderful variety in Jamaican Grade A cacao beans.
We source from small to large farmers directly to ensure we only use well fermented, high quality beans.
In chocolate making what happens post harvest is key to creating the perfect bar. We're working with our partners in parishes across the island, from St Thomas in the East through to Hanover in the West.
Over the last couple of years we've gone one step further and we're fermenting and drying beans ourselves, honing the post harvest process. Good beans in means great chocolate out!
We roast all our beans in a state of the art roaster that develops our fine flavours using hot air. The "Cookshop" as we call our manu-factory, slowly fills the air with the smell of chocolate brownies as the beans hit their sweet spot, a great way to start a day!

"One one cocoa full basket": One pod, one bean at a time, you reach your goals doing a little at a time.

- Old Jamaican Proverb

Crafted with One Love...

We're perfectionistas, the industry standard is that 1.5% of your chocolate will be husk, (the tough shell bit) that just doesn’t sit well for us. We aim to get all the chocolatey nibs and none of the gritty outer bit so we use some cool repurposed coffee machines which do a much better job.

The next bit is our favourite, the one we love the most, slowly and I mean slowly, we add the ground beans. Then over the course of many, many hours our chocolate changes, it gets physically smoother and the tastes get richer, the bitterness changes to something that just feels luxurious.

​We specialise in 70% bars that are plain and packed with health benefitting antioxidants as well as white and dark alternative milk bars that have the added boost of super foods sourced right here in the Caribbean. ​

​We also use our chocolate in a range of drinks, nut butters and chocolates for home and professional baking.

Coconut Milk

$12.00

This was our first flavoured bar. It came from a simple genesis, I loved Bounty Bars as a child. Growing up in the UK in the 80's, this milk chocolate with coconut was "the taste of paradise" Once I discovered fine and flavour cacao and how it enhances real ingredients, It was a no brainer. Swop out all the bad stuff, but in good stuff and you're left with "paradise"

Blue Mountain Coffee

$12.00

Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee is often said to be the most expensive in the world. It isn't but it's super expensive compared to you're average cup of Joe because of the incredible fruity and floral notes found in a light medium roast of the beans. Wait a second! fruit floral notes, combined with Trinitario cacao's similar profile, with the chocolate notes in the coffee itself. It's a match made in heaven, we roast both beans using state of the art fluid bed bed technology to tease out the best flavour. Two bean's one love!

Sorrel White Chocolate

Sorrel adds a wonderful fruity flavour and ruby like colour to this most Jamaican of flavours. It's not called Flor De Jamaica for nothing!

Award Winning (Micro Batch)
Artisan From Start to Finish

We make chocolate, in a one/one way.
In Jamaica there’s a saying; “One, one cocoa full basket” it sort of means that little by little we get the job done.
​For us that means making lovely chocolates, providing skills and training and building a better world for us here in Jamaica by taking the raw materials that we’re blessed with and do more, doing something to make our own future.
We’re working with farmers and community groups to get the best beans we can. We're making links with like minded buyers abroad to improve the livelihoods of people here and build an industry. A rising tide floats all ships and by showing we can make exceptional chocolate here locally it gets more people involved, Farmers, chocolate makers, chocolatiers which means everyone starts paying better rates for the raw material.
