THE SLABS A defining look created at the beginning of the HC Story. “ Most
chocolate bars were, and still are, cast into regimented pieces - prescribing how you should eat it. I preferred to capture the beautiful fluidity of molten chocolate when it is poured out onto a cool marble table, leaving the eating decisions up to you. I sketched the outline onto a piece of paper and the Slabs were born.�
Each chocolate selected by Angus Thirlwell, Co-founder
What we believe in In the last ten years, we’ve changed a lot, but in some ways not at all. Everything we do is guided by three basic values, and always will be.
Originality We love being fresh, creative and innovative, and always one surprising step ahead.
Authenticity We’re the real thing. We grow cocoa, create our own recipes, and even make chocolate fresh in our cafes.
Ethics As cocoa growers ourselves, we believe cocoa farmers deserve respect. Our mission is all about uniting cocoa growers with chocolate lovers, and always being fair to both.
