Chocolate farmed from seed and crafted with conscience.
Rich in Caribbean spirit, full of Island soul.
The Islands Way
Artistry, Not Industry
Industrial 95%
Huge international companies who buy millions of tonnes of cocoa on the world markets, mainly from West Africa, to process into chocolate on an industrial scale.
From Our Farms To You
In an industry full of dirty secrets, where layers and layers of intermediaries is the norm, Islands are unique in being BOTH the farmers and the makers of our chocolate. Managing our supply chain from start to finish means not only do we have perfect traceability, but in purchasing Islands Chocolate, you are directly supporting the livelihood of over 150 Vincentians.




Why Islands?
Our award-winning chocolate is beloved by the UK’s top chefs, bakers, baristas and connoisseurs at home.
But why?
The chocolate industry is getting it wrong. Decimating nature on an industrial scale, without care, consideration of ethics or conscience. Ignoring ‘open secrets' and using mouldy cocoa to produce cheap chocolate, for their profit and no-one else’s.
By personally managing every step of the journey, we craft award winning chocolates, with unrivalled ethical assurances: wages seven times over the Fair Trade Pledge, 150 direct employees at source and over 1 million trees planted to date.
Our ethical model performs at scale, delivering millions of hot chocolates annually in London alone.









First of all is the chocolate itself:

From Cocoa Into Chocolate
Almost uniquely, at Islands we manage the entire process every step of the way!

What Islanders Say
-
Such delicious chocolate! You can really tell this is a single estate chocolate. It has such a clear, fruity flavour. Its flavour profile is simply stunning. Top level mouthfeel too. Smoothness to rival the best brands. An ethical chocolate couverture with a reasonable price tag. Perfect.

The product exceeded my expectations and has a far better (and more complex) flavour profile than most market milk chocolate which tends to rely on too much sugar! It's also got a really cool story and apparently seed to bar is pretty rare.. Definitely worth a try and next time gonna buy some dark chocolate for cooking.

A beautifully balanced chocolate, dark and rich but not overpowering or bitter at all. Baked perfectly in some brownies at home during lockdown and have since taken it in to the restaurant I work at and trialed it in making a range of petit fours, a mousse and a fondant. All worked very well.

I ordered these buttons to use in various keto recipes, including peanut butter/chocolate chip bars made with almond flour and coconut flour. They work perfectly - making the bars taste chocolatey and tasty without being too sweet. Love the re-sealable packaging too!
Liz Mac

I loved everything about this chocolate. From the smooth texture, deep flavour and super cool packaging. The buttons are perfect for snacking on but I’ve also used them in making cookies and brownies. These buttons are epic.

This was a present for my father-in-law, who loves his dark chocolate and has tried many, many over the years (he's 81). He said this one was by far the best he'd ever tasted.
