Nestled in the Welsh countryside in Caerwent, Monmouthshire, Caerwent Craft Chocolate is a small, passionate artisan chocolate business with a wonderfully simple philosophy: start with exceptional ingredients and let the chocolate speak for itself. Run by a husband-and-wife team, the business creates handcrafted, singleorigin, bean-to-bar chocolate, transforming carefully selected cocoa beans into distinctive bars and indulgent treats.

What makes Caerwent Craft Chocolate particularly appealing is its focus on single-origin cocoa. Rather than blending beans from different countries, the business produces chocolate using beans from individual origins, including Colombia, Madagascar, Ecuador and Peru. Like fine coffee or wine, cocoa can express the character of the place where it is grown, meaning each origin offers its own flavour profile and personality.

The beans are roasted in small batches before being cracked, winnowed and ground with carefully selected ingredients to create the finished chocolate. The result is a range designed to appeal to both serious chocolate enthusiasts and those simply looking for a delicious treat. For dark chocolate lovers, the selection includes Colombian, Ecuadorian, Madagascan and Peruvian bars, with different cocoa percentages offering everything from approachable richness to intense, sophisticated depth. The business also produces an impressive 85% Colombian chocolate, alongside award-winning 75% and 65% varieties.

Milk chocolate has an equally important place in the range. The Great Taste award-winning milk chocolate is made with Colombian cocoa recognised for its Fino de Aroma classification, combined with 45% cocoa solids and fresh Madagascan vanilla pods. The result is described as rich, smooth and silky, offering considerably more character than a conventional everyday milk chocolate.

Beyond traditional bars, Caerwent Craft Chocolate creates plenty of fun and imaginative treats. These include milk chocolate with orange, chocolate-covered honeycomb, dark chocolate-covered honeycomb, chocolate and coffee combinations, snack bars, lollipops and hot chocolate stirrers. There are also seasonal and gift options, making the range suitable for everything from a personal indulgence to a thoughtful present.

Ultimately, Caerwent Craft Chocolate offers something more meaningful than simply a sweet treat: a journey from cocoa-growing regions around the world to the Welsh countryside, captured in carefully made chocolate. With its emphasis on provenance, craftsmanship, distinctive flavours, and responsible sourcing, it is a compelling example of small-scale Welsh food production—and a delicious reminder that great chocolate begins long before the first bite.

A bar can begin with cocoa from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador or Madagascar and end its journey in Caerwent, where it becomes a carefully crafted chocolate product. That gives each bar a sense of place—and a story worth discovering.

For customers, the attraction is not simply buying chocolate. It is exploring different cocoa origins, discovering new flavours and supporting an independent Welsh producer at the same time.

Whether your preference is an intense 85% dark chocolate, a smooth 45% cocoa milk chocolate, chocolate-covered honeycomb, coffee-infused chocolate or a comforting hot chocolate stirrer, Caerwent Craft Chocolate offers plenty of opportunities to find a new favourite.

In short, Caerwent Craft Chocolate brings the world of fine cocoa to the Welsh countryside, combining provenance, craftsmanship and imagination to create chocolate that is as interesting to discover as it is enjoyable to eat.
