It's been some time since I've last posted on here, but here we go...

I came across an online store called "A Taste for Chocolate" where you can purchase Amedei, Valrhona, etc and was wondering if they were good to buy from?  Has anyone heard of them or ordered from them?

Thanks for your help!

A question for Forum members: do you think we should allow this kind of advert-only post, moderate and remove them, or only allow them in a specific forum for this purpose?

We look forward to your answers!

With ur help, and information supplied by Richard O'Connor (thanx),  I have a plan and pretty much know what I am looking for and how to maximise the short time I have: 2 hours Thursday afternoon and the same early Friday morning.

Duffy’s Chocolate Honduras Indio rojo 72% from Red Star Chocolate recently won a Golden Bean Award at Academy of Chocolate Awards.

Harvey Nichols at Knightsbridge is another distrubutor of Red Start Chocolate (The Fifth Floor Foodmarket). Her you can find Amedei and a few other chocolate brands.

You can find bars from L'Artisan du Chocolat at  Selfridges , Oxford Street.

Amano is sold by Fortnum & Mason.

Maybe this can help a bit.

Bars I have liked so far: Hotel Chocolat Chuao, Amano Madagasca and Amedei 9

I will be arriving/leaving Euston and staying at Camden Loch and will not have much time to shop + don't know my way about London or the tube service.

Ideally, I would like to be able to go to a shop that sells not just it's own brand (would be nice to manage one though), but would still want to get some William Curley,  Paul A.Young, Valrhona, Domori and anything good.

(Is Fortnum & Masons own branded bars worth checking out and do they sell others?)

Is there a Chocolate & Love retail outlet?

Could anyone advise places to go (with nearest tube) and bars I should/must try.

Thanx

 I must be the smallest chocolate maker in the world as there is only me. I have the equipment to make small test batches (for which I need 1kg of beans) and bigger batches of 30kg or so. If you want any trials doing then contact me through my web-site http://www.redstarchocolate.co.uk I could probably help with the early stages at least.

Regards,

Duffy

I've since discovered Chocolate and Love, one of this site's sponsors, who will deliver Amedei to Australia.  I've placed an order with them, so until it arrives I can't comment on how good they are, but in the dealings i've had with them so far I've been quite satisfied.

I have just joined this forum anre as a small chocolate manufacturer with ambition.

We can be viewed at  http://www.chocolala.co.uk   -- if we can`t do it we probably know  am an who can!

Our company is based in Vanuatu (South Pacific). We are looking for a Chocolate Bar manufacturer to produce our exciting range of "South Pacific Blend" Chocolates.

Can anyone assist in finding a small/medium size company interested in manufacturing our products? ideally we are looking at anything between single serve 10gram bars up to 50-60 gram bars. Initial trial run will be between 2000-5000 units with future orders from 1 pallet up to one 20' FCL shipping container. Need not be labeled at the trial stage, just plain packaging is fine for the initial run.

Target market is the United States with also interested distributors in place in Europe.

I appreciate any leads or questions from interested manufacturers.

regards,
