This morning, @pumpstchocolate's Rye Crumb, Milk & Sea Salt bar was included in @guardian's article about the best indie food products out there - and frankly, we're not surprised. What a great bar!

Fabulous dark bar from Bahia in Brazil - this is ‘tree-to-bar’ chocolate… made in the farm where the beans are grown. Mild roast, rich and creamy flavours. Via @CocoaRunners and terrific

This is great - dark choc made with Tanzanian beans by Jitka and Michal Herufek in Moravia in Czechia, and they’ve added bobbles of bee pollen for texture and sweetness and all-around wholesomeness. Via @CocoaRunners and darn fine

There’s something new on the menu this summer: the Cocoa-fruit frappé 🧊 It’s got ‘cocoa’ in the title, but the similarity with chocolate ends there. That’s because the cocoa-fruit frappé isn’t made from cocoa beans: it’s made from the fruit pulp that surrounds them #knoops

This is a delicious and complex bar of dark choc made in Valladolid in Spain with beans from the Qori Warmi women’s cooperative in Vraem in Peru. Notes of berries and tobacco and a long finish. Purchased from @CocoaRunners and worth every penny

This beautiful bar tastes as good as it looks, which is really saying something. It is made in Cornwall by the excellent folk at @chocolarder with beans from Les Femmes de Virunga in DR Congo, a long-established cooperative. Very fine

🍫🇬🇩 A nice focus on L'Esterre in Grenada in this week's #NotesOnChocolate column. We've enjoyed craft chocolate made with L'Esterre's lovely beans before, but @AnnalisaB gets to sample on their own-made chocolate buttons. https://t.co/NuiZcmJ10I

We are devouring with delight this new bar in the Bakery Series from @pumpstchocolate which combines dark chocolate from West Papua with subtle flavours of aniseed and orange peel, as found in the Gibassier pastry of Provence. Gorgeous
