British Family Owned Chocolate Company
Making chocolate from our own farms in the Caribbean
The Islands Concept
Our Concept is Revolutionary
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
By purchasing Islands Chocolate, you are directly supporting the livelihood of many Vincentians at source who grow and process cocoa on our farms.




Why Islands?
Our award-winning chocolate is fast becoming the chocolate of choice for many of the UK’s finest chefs, trendiest bakeries, caterers and discerning chocolate lovers alike.
But why?
Because people are bored with buying ubiquitous chocolate from ethically questionable sources produced using industrial methods by huge foreign multi-nationals.
We are completely different. A UK company farming its own cocoa on its own farms to produce its own outstanding quality chocolate in a format and sufficient quantity suitable for Michelin starred restaurants.









First of all is the chocolate itself:
Emanating from our fine-flavoured beans and coupled with the expertise of our master chocolatier partner in Belgium, the taste of our chocolate is uniquely fresh and natural.
Growing from seed and hand-processing cocoa ourselves means our cocoa is produced and delivered in perfect condition. Combined with our unique flavour profile, this enables us to produce chocolate of unrivalled quality.

But we prefer to let our esteemed clients and customers do the talking.
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!

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.
