Why We Chose The Chocolate Society: Artisan Chocolate Done Properly
At Soar Trading, we don't add products to our shelves lightly. Every maker we work with has to earn their place — through the quality of what they make, the values they hold, and the story behind their craft. The Chocolate Society earned theirs a long time ago.
Who Are The Chocolate Society?
Founded in 1990, The Chocolate Society began with a conviction that chocolate deserved to be treated with the same reverence as fine wine or artisan cheese. At a time when British chocolate culture was dominated by mass-market confectionery, they were sourcing exceptional cacao, working with skilled chocolatiers, and creating bars that genuinely tasted different.
More than three decades on, that commitment hasn't wavered. They remain one of Britain's most respected names in premium chocolate — small-batch, thoughtfully crafted, and utterly uncompromising on quality.
What Makes Their Chocolate Special?
The difference is in the detail. The Chocolate Society choose their cacao carefully, work with flavour combinations that are considered rather than gimmicky, and present their bars beautifully. These aren't impulse-buy chocolates. They're the kind you unwrap slowly, share with someone you like, or keep entirely to yourself — no judgement.
Their packaging is also home-compostable, wrapped in Natureflex — a small but meaningful detail that aligns perfectly with our Conscious Living ethos at Soar Trading.
The Two Bars We're Stocking
Cinnamon Toast — Blonde Chocolate
Blonde chocolate — sometimes called caramelised white chocolate — has a naturally warm, toasty sweetness that pairs beautifully with cinnamon. This bar adds crunchy cinnamon toast pieces for texture and nostalgia in equal measure. It's comforting, indulgent, and genuinely hard to put down.
Flat White Coffee — Dark & White Chocolate
For coffee lovers, this is a revelation. Sixty-one percent dark chocolate forms the base, layered with a bold espresso note and finished with a smooth white chocolate crema — recreating the experience of a perfectly made flat white in bar form. Sophisticated, rich, and deeply satisfying.
Why They Belong at Soar Trading
We curate our range around a simple idea: the things we bring into our homes should be made with care, by people who mean it. The Chocolate Society has been doing exactly that for over thirty years. They're independent, they're passionate, and they make chocolate that's genuinely worth seeking out.
That's why they're here.
