For us chocolate has to be a whole experience: A beautiful object that attracts the eyes with rich, colour, texture and pattern. Chocolate that gives off a wonderful aroma daring you to bite in, texture that explodes in your mouth, and finally, a flavour that leaves you wanting more.
Paxton Chocolate was set up in December 2012 by Caitlin Paxton upon graduating as a Pastry Chef from the Cordon Bleu. It was here that she developed a passion for chocolate. After feeding samples to grateful friends and family, who always wanted more, Caitlin realized that she could turn this into a business.
So how do we create our chocolates? The first and most important thing is the ingredients. We source the chocolate couverture from a company in Belgium that has been producing the finest chocolate for over 100 years from sustainably grown cocoa beans. The dried flours and extracts come from Scotland, where they are selected for their province and quality. Our perishable ingredients are sourced locally to ensure maximum freshness.
