Exotic Rococo Chocolates reach Monty’s, Paddington
Chocoholics take note – if you’ve moved on from the days of Freddo frogs and you are looking for a little depth of taste in comparison to your average Bertie Beetle, British brand Rococo Chocolates lets you venture into exotic flavours, while keeping within the world of cocoa.
The brand was born in 1983 by Chantal Coady, who wanted to create something that wasn’t just better quality cocoa to your average sweet treat, but a bit more creative than your typical British chocolates. In Rococo combinations, dark chocolate intertwines with Sea Salt and Black Pepper, while creamy white bars are introduced to heady cardamom and delicate rose water.
As well as being delicious, Rococo chocolates are made with a little heart – all products are not only organic but fairly traded and ethically created. Farmed amongst the jungles of Grenada, the cocoa beans (Trinitario for the pedantic) are delicately produced on a small cocoa farm by locals.
Each bar comes wrapped in a beautifully whimsical packet – watercolours and patterns inspired by Chantal’s global adventures, as well as historical chocolate moulds. While she has four stores behind her in the UK, those who are Brisbane-based can grab the bars a little closer to home at Monty’s Chocolates in Paddington.
