Montezuma's Extraordinary Chocolate

Montezuma's Extraordinary Chocolate is what it says on the packaging and, by heck, Montezuma's Extraordinary Chocolate is what you will find inside each packet!

They are not the kind of chocolatiers to rest, languidly, on their laurels. They are always up and at it, striving to come up with even more delicious and luxurious chocolate recipes to tempt and tantalise our tastebuds with!

Some of their latest flavours include Sea Dog (a stunning and really sharp, but in a good way combination of chocolate, sea salt and lime.)

Then there is utterly delightfully decadent Black Forest ( extra-yummy cherries mixed together with delectable Dark Chocolate. Yes, a delicious chocolaty version of the traditional Black Forest Gateau.)

But last, but by no means least, in this trio of chocolate delights is Dark Chocolate with Orange and Geranium. The balance of dark chocolate, with tangy but discrete orange notes and the interesting addition of geranium, aka Happy Hippy, is an ideal way to make the hippy in your life very happy indeed! (EDITOR: Well, it made me happy and yeah, I'm probably a fairly happy hippy at my age!)

To learn more and to check out the rest of their range (and to make your purchases) please visit them here https://www.montezumas.co.uk. They are available from selected retailers. Please check for availability. 

We believe these would make ideal Christmas gifts, so do take a look, they have everything from bars of chocolate to truffles everyone will absolutely adore. (Buy some for you, then some for them!)

Montezuma's Monkey Around

Montezuma's Chocolate has launched five new half-kilo, bigger than an iPad, 'Monkey Bars' named after Cockney Rhyming slang phrases - as a celebration of all-things British in this Olympic and Jubilee year.

Can you Adam and Eve it? Montezuma's new 'Monkey Bars' are bigger than an iPad!

These half-kilo slabs of great British chocolate take their name from Cockney rhyming slang for '500' and measure an impressive 10" by 6" (25.5cm x 15.5cm, if you really want the metric).

Inspired by a very special year for Britain, when we celebrate both the Royal Jubilee and the Olympics, unwrapping a 500g Monkey Bar at a gathering of family or friends will have their 'mince pies' popping out!

While huge, Monkey Bars do break up into handy 33g blocks, so are easily shared - whether it's for Easter, Father's Day, as an after-dinner treat or even while watching a certain East End sitcom!

There are 5 innovative flavours in all - each decorated with a skyline of London and other iconic symbols of Great Britain, including a traditional phone box, bulldog, Welsh dragon and a Scottish lion:

'Airs & Graces' (meaning 'Races' as in Epsom Races - which is Ecuadorian Dark chocolate with Nougat Pieces); 'Nanny Goat' ('Boat' - Venezuelan Milk Chocolate with Salted Peanuts & Butterscotch); 'Daisy Roots' ('Boots' - Ecuadorian Dark chocolate with Cherry & Almond Slices); 'Adam & Eve' ('Believe' - Venezuelan Milk Chocolate with Orange & Hazelnuts) and 'Shake & Shiver' ('River', as in The Thames - Ecuadorian Dark Chocolate with Peppermint & Cocoa Nibs). RRP is £13.99.

The bars are available from www.montezumas.co.uk and its 5 shops (Brighton, Chichester, Winchester, Kingston-upon-Thames and Spitalfields in London), as well as John Lewis, Whole Foods Market and all good independent fine food stores nationwide.

Monkey Bars are part of Montezuma's 'Great British' range, which also includes 6 traditional pudding-flavoured bars and truffles - including Spotted Dick, Treacle Tart and Apple Crumble.
