Welcome to The Newfoundland Chocolate Company

 

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!  (Pictured left: St. John's Mayor Dennis O'Keefe chews through the chocolate 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.  Visit our Where to Buy page for a full listing.

 

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

Introducing the Newfoundland Chocolate Academy! 

The Newfoundland Chocolate Company is pleased to announce our new Chocolate Making Workshops, to be held at our Chocolaterie at 166 Duckworth Street.  These fun, three hour evening workshops will teach budding chocolatiers the basics of chocolate making.  Students will make their own box of assorted chocolates which will be theirs to keep.  You'll learn about the history of chocolate; cacao to cocoa - from bean to bar; how chocolate is made; tempering chocolate; ganache; and moulding chocolates.  This workshop is for anyone! You don't need to be a baker, a pastry chef or a chocolatier. It's for anyone who loves gourmet chocolate, who would love to learn how great chocolate is made and who loves the idea of making their own chocolates and truffles.  The next available session is Thursday, December 8, 2011. Call Yvonne at 709.579.0099 for information or to register.  Cost is $75 per person and class size is limited to 15 people.

And the winner is ...
