Russell & Atwell Launch Cornish Dream New Limited Edition Fresh Clotted Cream Chocolates

Russell & Atwell has unveiled its latest creation - Cornish Dream, a luxuriously smooth chocolate made with fresh, rich real Cornish clotted cream from Rodda's. 

The new chocolates officially launch on 5th September. 

Encased in a silky milk chocolate shell, the centre blends thick white chocolate with the unmistakable richness of clotted cream, offering a uniquely indulgent chocolate experience. 

And, in a possible world first, these chocolates are designed to be enjoyed both chilled - like the rest of the Russell & Atwell range - and also frozen, straight from the freezer, where the clotted cream centres give them a deliciously rich and artisanal ice-creamy taste and texture. 

Steve Russell, co-founder and chocolatier at Russell & Atwell, told That's Food and Drink: “We've always believed that fresh ingredients make better chocolates, and with Cornish Dream, we've taken that to the next level.  

"Real Cornish clotted cream brings a depth of flavour and unmistakable richness that works beautifully with our blend of white and milk chocolate - it's decadently fresh and distinctly British, bringing everyone a touch of Cornwall to their every day. It's not just a new flavour, this is a whole new taste experience.“

Made with real foodie ingredients, and never with palm oil, Russell & Atwell's hand-finished fresh chocolates have an irresistible 'double crack' bite sensation. Each chocolate has a thin outer chocolate shell that once cracked open, leads to a smooth, scrumptious centre, packed with flavour and created with Fino de Aroma Colombian cocoa, finishing with a deeply indulgent bottom layer of chocolate.

Russell & Atwell use the highest quality sustainable ingredients from small ethical, predominantly British producers. Their chocolates are made from responsibly sourced cocoa, fresh organic British cream and butter, Essex Borage and Salisbury Plain wildflower honey and just a pinch of Dorset Sea Salt. This award-winning combination creates a moreish blend of taste and texture, making every bite a truly indulgent experience.

With British honey a key ingredient in their chocolate, Russell & Atwell also supports the Buglife charity which plants vital wildflower B-Lines for bees and other pollinators with every pouch sold.

Founded by former Cadbury and Godiva employees Giles Atwell and Steve Russell who have a combined 35 years experience of working on world famous chocolate brands and 103 years heritage in the industry, Russell & Atwell became a runaway success on BBC1's Dragon Den, securing investment from entrepreneurs Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones.

Russell & Atwell's full range is available online at russellandatwell.com or in select delicatessens including Panzer's and Booths supermarkets. 

Russell & Atwell Serve Up Summer in a Chocolate - Limited Edition 'Strawberries & Cream' Fresh Chocolates

Top award-winning fresh chocolate makers, Russell & Atwell are launching their most quintessentially British creation yet: Strawberries & Cream, a limited edition fresh chocolate crafted with whole handpicked fresh strawberries and organic double cream from the Cotswolds. It's the perfect match for the Wimbledon season.

This luxurious flavour is a celebration of summer, combining juicy, sun-ripened strawberries with fresh organic cream, all wrapped in Russell & Atwell's signature creamy white chocolate. As always, it's freshly made, chilled to perfection and free from palm oil and artificial preservatives.

Co-founder Giles Atwell says, “Our goal has always been to make chocolate better – fresher, creamier, and more indulgent. With Strawberries & Cream, we wanted to capture that iconic taste of a British summer, using the finest ingredients from right here at home. Whether you're courtside or couchside, it's the perfect companion for Wimbledon.”

Chocolate scientist, Steve Russell says, “Strawberry is a challenging flavour to get right – so often in chocolate it tastes sickly-sweet or very floral – we wanted it to taste rich, fruity and with a touch of green and fresh notes. After months of development, we've used white chocolate to help the strawberry fruit punch through.

“We use award-winning strawberry jam from the Artisan Kitchen. A luscious blend of whole, fresh strawberries, and fragrant vanilla, set naturally with a little apple. This irresistible jam is a harmonious fusion of flavours that will tantalise your taste buds and leave you craving for more. It's jam-packed full of British strawberries, handmade in small batches for the very best flavour, using much more fruit and less sugar than traditional preserves.”

 Russell & Atwell's Strawberries & Cream will be available in limited quantities from 12 June from russellandatwell.com.

Russell & Atwell Launch Limited Edition Heart-Shaped Cherry Lush Fresh Chocolates for Valentine's Day

Innovative fresh chocolate makers Russell & Atwell are introducing a special limited edition heart-shaped Cherry Lush chocolates in time for Valentine's Day. 

Each hand-finished smooth milk chocolate is filled with ethically sourced cocoa and organic double cream expertly blended with bold and juicy morello cherries.

Co-founder and chocolate scientist, Steve Russell told That's Food an Drink: "We're excited to introduce this romantic twist to our collection of fresh chocolates. 

"The outstanding morello cherry jam we use is a special bespoke blend made exclusively for us by The Artisan Kitchen in Gloucestershire and it's really unlike anything we've ever tasted before. 

"We adore its intense, natural fruitiness that pairs beautifully with our velvety fresh ganache. We always use real ingredients like organic British double cream and wildflower honey and these heart-shaped chocolates reflect our philosophy that fresh is always best."

Steve went on to explain: "Unlike long-life chocolates, Russell & Atwell's creations are made fresh, designed to be stored in the fridge for up to 12 weeks. By replacing artificial preservatives with organic British double cream, wildflower honey and a little sugar, the result is a chocolate that's as pure as it is delicious.”

"Chocolate has been stuck on supermarket shelves for far too long," added Giles Atwell, co-founder. "People are choosing fresh food in every other category, from pasta to juices, so we thought why not chocolate? Freshness means better taste, better quality ingredients and a more indulgent experience."

Cherry Lush builds on Russell & Atwell's reputation as leaders in artisanal, sustainable chocolate-making. Their chocolates are celebrated for their iconic 'double crack' sensation: that starts with a thin, crisp chocolate shell that gives way to a smooth luxurious deeply indulgent centre.

Russell & Atwell fresh chocolates are made using the World's finest fino de aroma cocoa, ethically sourced from co-operatives in Colombia keeping more money at source by starting the making process there too. The raw chocolate is then expertly blended with Organic double cream, wildflower honey and hand finished all in the UK.

Their packaging is eco-friendly, with recyclable pouches and refillable glass jars that come with recyclable paper refills on demand.  Each pouch/jar you buy also supports the Buglife charity's efforts to protect pollinators by planting wildflower B-Lines across the UK.

These limited edition chocolates are the perfect way to show love this Valentine's Day. Available now at russellandatwell.com.
