Review: The Chocolate Cafe


I'm going to review the products that I purchased from The Chocolate Cafe, during the Bolton Food & Drink Festival.

Milk Chocolate Rocky Road Bar
This is the finest & best Rocky Road chocolate bar I've ever come across.
     The base is milk chocolate, which is 34% cocoa solids, and 23% milk solids. Then the base is topped with chocolate coated cereals, chocolate fudge and marshmallows.
     The milk chocolate is very smooth and creamy, and with every piece of you eat; the experience will vary depending on how much of the topping you get on each piece of chocolate.
    This is my all time favourite chocolate bar, and I would highly recommend The Chocolate Cafe to even the most loyal of choc-a-holics.

Champagne Truffles
The Chocolate Cafe's Champagne Truffles are my little luxury, & I personally don't think that there's better on the market.
    The Champagne Truffles are made with 70% dark chocolate, 34% milk chocolate, 28% white chocolate, 23% milk solids, cocoa and infused with the very finest Marc de Champagne.
   These are a joy to eat, as all the chocolate is smooth, creamy & velvety, and then you'll feel the fizz and then taste the champagne.
   All I can add is that it's Heaven in truffle form.

What do you like about Bolton in general?
It's my home town and it is very special. It's all about the people!

How did you first hear about the Bolton Food & Drink Festival?
I first heard about the Bolton Food & Drink Festival from Stuart at The Vineyard Wine Merchants in Ramsbottom.

How does the Bolton Food & Drink Festival stand out from other food festivals?

The festival is right in the heart of the town which means you get a varied selection of visitors; from dedicated foodies to local people doing their weekly shop.

What is it about the Bolton Food & Drink Festival that keeps attracting you back year after year?

It is a very friendly and well organised festival, for us it feels like home.

How long have you been selling your products at the Bolton Food & Drink Festival?

We have been at the festival since 2009.

What do you think will be the Chocolate Cafe's best selling product while at the festival?

Historically our handmade chocolate bars have always sold very well. Our best seller is usually our Milk Chocolate Rocky Road or Dark Chocolate Habanero Chilli.

What makes the Chocolate Cafe stand out from the rest?

We take the finest Fino de Aroma cocoa from Colombia and blend it with the very best British ingredients. Quite simply we think our chocolate tastes better.

If you could choose one product to every customer; what would it be?

If I could choose one product to recommend to each customer it would be our Milk Chocolate Salt & Vinegar bar. It epitomises everything about us in that it's quality, innovative and fun.

Would you recommend the Bolton Food & Drink Festival to family, friends & other businesses?

Yes.
