Darksome Milk

How your bar was made. Inside the process.

This is the most refined milk chocolate we have made, distinctive in both its flavour and the methods used to develop it. It represents what a true dark-milk chocolate should be: smooth and rich without compromising on either cacao or milk content. It is neither sweet nor bitter, but creamy and cacao-forward, with natural vanilla notes.

Common in many aspects to the way we work, innovation plays an important role in its development, including a new crumbing method and the controlled use of the Maillard effect to introduce a light caramel note to the milk powder, with flavours almost reminiscent of a classic ‘malted-milk-biscuit’. This approach allows us to maintain a higher proportion of both milk and cacao while keeping sugar to a minimum, creating a lovely balance and depth.

The Darksome name comes from an Old English word meaning “becoming darker,” reflecting both its balanced character and our re-interpretation of what a true dark-milk chocolate can be.
