Montezuma: The Best Chocolate in the World.

Posted on by

Montezuma is a British chocolate company that makes the best chocolate in the world, and, dammit, it makes me feel so proud. Upon receiving Montezuma’s Monkey Bars in the post I was so happy that I actually couldn’t speak for at least a minute.

 

Montezuma have just brought out new Monkey Bars that are bigger than an ipad. These half-kilo slabs of pure chocolate heaven are named after Cockney rhyming slang for ‘500’. They measure an impressive 10” by 6”. They have been inspired for this special year for Britain; the Royal Jubilee and the Olympics in case you have been living in a cave.

 

I tried the Nanny Goat; Venezuelan Milk Chocolate with salted peanuts and butterscotch, and Adam & Eve; Venezuelan Milk Chocolate with Orange and Hazelnuts. It was so hard to pick a favourite but the latter just managed it. Rick Stein call this family business “food obsession at its best” but that’s an understatement. They also mix chocolate with traditional desserts like Eton Mess, Spotted Dick and Apple Crumble. Montezuma’s chocolate it one of my favourite things in the world, and, no, I am not being paid to say that.

 

Available from montezumas.co.uk, one of their stores [there is one in Spitalfields in London that I pass and nearly spend all of my money in], and John Lewis. They may be £13.99 but they are worth every penny. Foodie Heaven.

Montezuma's Real Chocolate Club Review

Posted on by

Gourmet chocolate by post, every woman’s dream? I think so. Montezuma’s chocolate club is from an innovative British firm. These handmade chocolates are absolutely divine. They are one of the best things I have ever had come through my letterbox. Perfect for those January blues.

This month the chocolates were dessert themed. They came in three sections, and each section had a bar of chocolate and truffles on top. They were: Dark Chocolate Lemon Meringue Truffles and Milk chocolate with salted peanuts and butterscotch bar, Dark chocolate Eton Mess Truffles and milk chocolate treacle tart bar and milk chocolate apple crumble truffles & Dark chocolate with orange and hazelnuts bar. It’s hard to choose a favourite as they were all as delicious as they were original. The Eton Mess and Lemon Meringue were particularly amazing.

Chocolate by post must be the greatest invention ever.

It cost £19.99pcm for a whopping 600g of hand made gourmet chocolate, including postage. You can have sign up for as long or as little as you want, or give the chocolate as a gift. Though, really, do you like anyone that much?
