Artisan du Chocolat open three new Selfridges concessions

Saturday 24th April

Good news for chocolate fans in Birmingham and Manchester. Artisan du Chocolat have recently opened two new stores in Selfridges, Exchange Square, Manchester and Selfridges Birmingham with Artisan at Selfridges Trafford Centre to follow in June. The three new Artisan du chocolat shops follow Artisan’s design aesthetic whilst also reflecting its location. Gerard and his team now conche and refine cacao beans from South America, Caribbean and the Far East to create a great selection of chocolate bars: from the newly launched limited edition Orchid and Orange Blossom bar to single origin bars and sugar free or even dairy free almond ‘milk’ chocolate. Artisan couture chocolates often feature flavours from familiar (Vanilla, Cinnamon, Ginger) to the exotic (Tonka, Sechuan Pepper, Lumi – Persian sun dried lime) and unexpected, such as the tobacco ganache, first created for Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck. Cups of hot chocolate, again featuring different single origins drinking chocolate and flavours such as Mole Chilli, will be sold to take away, alongside cold and refreshing Cocoa Pulp Juice (made from the fruit pulp that surrounds the cocoa beans), perfect for summer months.
