Open ... and simply decadent.
It's official
... the Newfoundland Chocolate Company's new Chocolaterie at
166 Duckworth is open!
We're in the eye-catching building across from the Sir
Humphrey Gilbert Building ... it's the caramel-coloured one
with the chocolate dripping from the eaves and window
ledges!

ribbon at the official opening.)
The Chocolaterie is truly a sight to behold. Before
entering, linger a few minutes under the shelter of our
delicious looking awning so that you can take in the window
display ... you'll find nothing else like it in the
province. Once you step inside, you're likely to "oooh" and
"aaah" when you see what awaits you. There are a few
features that defy description ... you just have to see them
for yourself.
Of course you'll find our famous Newfoundland Chocolate
Company chocolate boxes and bars, available on their own, or
beautifully bundled into gift sets and baskets. You'll want to check out the gourmet truffles,
clusters and bark behind the glass ... you'll marvel at the
mouth-watering flavour combinations our chocolatiers have
created. There's something for every taste.
Please accept our invitation to drop by for a visit and
taste our sample of the day. Our
hours are Monday through Wednesday 10am to 6pm, Thursday and
Friday 10am to 8pm, Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday 10am to 5pm.
Our chocolate is
also carried by a number of other fine retailers.

What makes
Newfoundland Chocolate Company chocolates so special?
First, you’ll not find a group
of chocolatiers more passionate about great chocolate. We
only use the very finest of Belgian, Swiss and French
gourmet couverture chocolate made from only the very
finest of cocoa beans. Our chocolates are pure and free of
additives and preservatives – so they are best enjoyed
before the date indicated (although we have a hunch they’ll
have disappeared long before then!)
Second, every chocolate we make
is created by hand, lovingly and passionately, by our
skilled, artisan chocolatiers. As such, every chocolate in
every box is unique – as unique as the people, places,
culture and landscape of this wonderful, beautiful
Newfoundland and Labrador which we call home.
Third, we believe that truly
great chocolate is pure and should be celebrated, tasted
fully and naturally and never be masked with sweet,
overpowering centres. We strive to find complementary
blends of chocolate with fine, natural ingredients. Each
boxed series features a different array of our favourite
combinations of our finest milk, dark and white chocolates
with nuts, caramels, locally roasted coffees, home made
biscotti and what are inarguably the finest berries to be
found anywhere – our own natural Newfoundland and Labrador
wild berries.
If you are a returning
customer, thank you for giving us an opportunity to share
our passion for exceptional chocolate with you. If you have
not yet discovered Newfoundland Chocolate, please do – you
will not be disappointed. We hope you will savour and enjoy
our chocolates as thoroughly as we enjoyed making them for
you.
Sincerely,
Brent Smith
Chief Chocolate
Officer
