Welcome to a bright new season of chocolate, here to help you shake off the last of the chilly winter months and onto brighter days. Our new range is bursting with gift ideas for all of your springtime celebrations, including some rather important ones.

First up there are two dates that it’s best not to forget – Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day (3rd April). And then, before you know it, we’ll be celebrating the chocolate lover’s favourite season, Easter (24th April). Not forgetting, of course, all of your own special celebrations and dates in the diary. So, whatever you’re planning this season, I do hope we can help you celebrate in style.

PS. If the winter chills have been all too much for you, why not make your escape and book yourself into our new hotel on Saint Lucia – see page 26 for more!

We know what it takes to grow the rare and vintage cocoa that features in our Purist range – because we’re doing exactly that at the historic Rabot Estate on the island of Saint Lucia. The precious cocoa we grow there is of a rare Criollo-rich Trinitario variety and brimming with character, which is further enhanced by ideal growing conditions.

But we’re not just growing our own cocoa, we’re also helping to rejuvenate cocoa farming across the island and help reverse a 50-year decline. The Island Growers chocolates in our Purist range are made with cocoa from over 100 Saint Lucian growers, who are all part of our Engaged Ethics programme. It provides technical help and know-how, high quality seedlings and, crucially, a guarantee to buy their entire crop at prices above the world rate.

Find out more about our Engaged Ethics programme in Saint

Lucia and Ghana at www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/ethics
