Flavour chocolate began when our seasonal jobs ended in 2016, and we longed to stay on the island and we were offered a house. We (Chris & Nicola Loye, husband & wife team) decided to make Harris gin chocolates for Christmas time proving a hit with the locals at the Christmas craft market in Tarbert selling out. 

​

Our artisan chocolates are all hand tempered. We don't have any giant tempering machines. It's a lengthy & messy process to get the perfect tastes and shine to our chocolates. We originally made them in our home but now have a chocolate production room at our restaurant and a small shop at Talla Na Marra which has allowed us to expand and employ 3 young islanders enabling Nicola to work from home with our 2 young daughters Freya 2.5 & Ada 9 months.

​

 We use sustainable chocolate brands such as Casa Luker who are a Colombian based company which use "fino de aroma" cocoa beans - this is the top 8% of cocoa beans produced worldwide.
