Some words from Islands about their brand ethics and products:

“AT ISLANDS, OUR STORY IS AS UNIQUE AS OUR CHOCOLATE.

With our own farms in St Vincent and partner farms in the Dominican Republic, we sit in the 0.01% of the chocolate market who are both cocoa farmers and chocolate makers.

Treating our cacao like a fine wine, every tree is nurtured from seed, pods individually hand harvested, beans carefully fermented and dried to curate the finest flavour, purest quality, Caribbean cocoa.

With this cocoa, we craft award winning chocolates. Bold fruit flavours and savoured acidity make for outrageously good hot chocolates, next level bakes and Michelin standard desserts, beloved by the UK's top chefs, baristas, bakers and connoisseurs.

By managing every step of our chocolate's journey, we can guarantee that the atrocities of deforestation, child labour and slavery, too often the norm with chocolate, are completely absent from our supply chain. Farming the finest flavour cocoa, we craft chocolates with conscience.

Powder! We kept things simple, pairing 45% unrefined Caribbean cocoa with homegrown British sugar and a sprinkling of Cornish sea salt, letting the natural flavours of the cocoa sing through. By sourcing the cocoa directly from our partner farms in the Dominican, and coordinating the roasting, pressing and blending of this in the EU, we have been able to create a Hot Chocolate Powder that holds its own to the flavour, traceability and ethical credentials of our St Vincent chocolate.”

Much like coffee, chocolate has tasting notes too:

45% Prominent deep cocoa flavour creates a rich hot chocolate with a jammy, dark fruit sweetness, creamy mouthfeel and gently acidic finish.
