Our Ingredients
Great chocolate begins with great ingredients.
We carefully source premium-quality chocolate and the finest inclusions to create recipes that are rich, smooth and full of flavour. Our signature range includes silky 36% milk chocolate and intense 64% dark chocolate, each chosen for its exceptional taste and quality.
From crunchy caramel pieces and roasted nuts to vibrant fruits and Cornish sea salt, every ingredient is selected to complement the chocolate perfectly.
Why We Chose the Melt & Mould Process
After extensive research—and plenty of tasting—we chose the traditional melt and mould process, the same approach used by many artisan chocolatiers.
We work with premium-quality, pre-refined chocolate that has already undergone the complex refining process, allowing us to focus entirely on what makes Josh's Chocolate unique: creating exceptional flavour combinations and producing every product by hand.
1. Melting the Chocolate
Our chocolate is gently melted to the ideal temperature, ensuring it remains smooth and glossy while preserving its rich flavour.
2. Adding the Flavours
Each recipe is created by carefully blending our chosen flavours and inclusions into the chocolate before tempering. Whether it's crunchy caramel, roasted almonds, blueberries, hazelnuts or refreshing peppermint, every ingredient is added by hand.
3. Tempering
Tempering is one of the most important stages of chocolate making. This carefully controlled process ensures every bar has:
A beautiful glossy finish
A satisfying snap
A smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture
Excellent shelf stability
4. Moulding
Once tempered, the chocolate is poured into our signature moulds to create bars, gigantic buttons and hot chocolate spoons.
5. Removing Air Bubbles
Each mould is gently vibrated to remove trapped air bubbles, ensuring every chocolate product is perfect.
