Let the Coco Sirens Tempt You to Chocolate Bliss

Coco Chocolate wins Great Taste Award

Coco Chocolate from Bruntsfield Edinburgh is celebrating after winning a prestigious Great Taste Award.

The chocolatier has been presented with a much-desired Gold Great Taste Award for its Organic Dark Chocolate with Rose & Black Pepper.

Regarded as the industry Oscars, The Guild of Fine Food’s annual Great Taste Awards are the UK’s largest independent evaluation of fine food and drink.

Each year, almost 4,500 foods are blind-tasted by up to three separate teams of experts before the awards are made. Since May there have been nearly two weeks of tasting by over 400 independent judges. As a result, 530 Great Taste Awards have been given out for excellence in taste, texture and flavour.

Bob Farrand of the Guild of Fine Food, said: “These awards have been running for 14 years now and are a recognised mark of excellence that consumers can trust and rely on.

“The winning products have been through a thorough judging process and we are able to assure consumers that the Great Taste logo, which all award winners can use, signifies genuine, proven fine food. It’s not just a supermarket premium marketing slogan that bears almost no relation to the quality of the food in the packet.

“The Great Taste Awards reflect what is happening in the fine food halls, delicatessens and farm shops throughout the UK and during judging we tasted some fantastic gourmet delicacies from all over the world.”

Coco Chocolate is a fully independent chocolate kitchen, store and chocolate school in Edinburgh, established for four years.
All Coco Chocolate is fine “real” chocolate – 100% cocoa butter and natural orchid vanilla. We have an extensive organic selection. We hand temper most of our chocolate on marble and all chocolate is handmade.

Rebecca Knights-Kerswell Owner & Creative Director says: “We are thrilled to win this award on the first time we have entered any of our chocolate to a judging panel. All of the hard-working team at Coco are so proud of what we produce. As well as our handmade bars we present our Art Series Boxes including Assorted Creams, Praline Golf Balls, Liqueur Cherries (six months in the making), and our newest chocolate boxes: The Aphrodisiac Collection (box artwork inspired by the Art Nouveau period, inside the romance continues with this inspiring and oh so slightly naughty chocolate selection) and Tattoo Love!! (Chocolate based on the history of Tattoo – think Burlesque, end of pier 40s sailors (with anchors on their arms) and Betty Page! )
