Calling all lovers of milk chocolate! For the final day of National Chocolate Week, we have the final bar in our new Innovations by Firetree range - our volcanic Oat bar from Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.⁠ ⁠ Crafted from gluten-free oats, providing the smooth, buttery richness of toasted oats with dark chocolate, creating a rich creamy plant-based alternative to milk chocolate. ⁠ ⁠ Another first for Firetree with this bar, Martyn adds, "we knew our Solomon Islands dark chocolate was just too delicious not to have a product for people who like lighter, creamier tasting chocolate, so with a flourish of inspiration and a lot of trial, 'Oat' was born. A true combination of chocolate and creamy oat flour refined and conched just like all of our chocolates". ⁠ ⁠ Tonight at midnight is your FINAL CHANCE to take advantage of our fantastic Firetree Bundle offer which includes: * a 7-bar set of our 25g bars (shipped to you now)⁠ * the new Innovations by Firetree Collection set of 5 x 65g bars (shipped on October 29th) ⁠ *a FREE ticket and Tasting Sheets to our exclusive Innovations Collection virtual Tasting Event on Thursday 18th November 8-9.30pm. You will be some of the first people in the world to sample our new bars alongside our Chocolate Maker, from the comfort of your own homes. ⁠ ⁠ And because it is National Chocolate Week, this bundle comes at the celebratory price of £45. (Normal retail £52.50). ⁠ ⁠ All in all, a fantastic way to celebrate with us and our cocoa farmers during National Chocolate Week. ⁠ ⁠ Click on the top link in our bio to find out more.

And now an unveiling of a first for Firetree, with the 4th bar in our Innovations by Firetree Collection. For this, we present our first-ever inclusions bar: Vanuatu, Malekula bar 72% cocoa & cocoa nibs. ⁠ ⁠ This chocolate delivers an enchanting combination: crisp cocoa sweetness of nibs laying on a bed of rich Vanuatu dark chocolate, with hints of white grape, cherry and lemon aromas. ⁠ ⁠ Here's why our Chocolate Maker, Martyn chose this as Firetree’s first ever inclusions bar, "what is better than a great tasting chocolate? Taste and added texture. In this bar you get the wonderful smoothness of the 72% Vanuatu chocolate overlaid with the coarse nib texture. Initial flavour texture of the Vanuatu nibs morphs into the rich sweetness of the chocolate before reappearing towards the end of the taste profile. In this bar you have 'your cake and eat it' moment". ⁠ ⁠ Don't forget that this bar, as well as much more is available as part of our ONE WEEK ONLY National Chocolate Week Firetree Chocolate Bundle. Find out more by clicking on the top link in our bio.

Here's to Monday. Next in our tour of the exotic single-estate origins that make up our new Innovations Collection, we return of one of our core single-estates, for a bar that is guaranteed to thrill our 100% cocoa bar fans. ⁠ ⁠ Our new limited-edition Vanuatu, Malekula Island 100% cocoa bar. Brighter in taste notes, this bar is the perfect marriage of intense, rich cocoa and red fruits. ⁠ ⁠ It is our Chocolate Maker's ode to the true chocolate lovers, saying "a good cocoa bean allows me to produce an intense and rich tasting chocolate which sings out its flavour notes without the usual pervasive bitterness and astringency of lesser cocoa beans. Wallow in the delight of pure 100% Vanuatu cocoa refined to super smoothness and fully conched to mellow these wild flavours". ⁠ ⁠ Our National Chocolate Week Firetree Chocolate Bundle is only around until Thursday 20th at midnight, so enjoy the first batch of this bar along with the rest of the new range as well as your FREE ticket to our exclusive Tasting Event by clicking on the top link in our bio.

Today, we showcase the second bar in our soon-to-be-released Innovations by Firetree Collection. From the taste notes you can look forward to experiencing to just why our Chocolate Maker placed it in our new limited-edition Innovations by Firetree collection. ⁠ ⁠ For bar number 2, we whisk you away to the idyllic Indonesian island of Seram for our 72% cocoa bar… ⁠ ⁠ ...with its pleasing blend of cocoa, toasted walnuts, treacle and floral notes. ⁠ ⁠ On this bar, our Chocolate Maker said, "the beans that grow on Seram Island represent the missing link between cocoa from Java and Papua New Guinea. Situated midpoint between these two land masses the terroir and skills of the Seram cocoa farmers gives this chocolate a more robust than the light, floral Java cocoa and softer than the deep base notes of Papua New Guinea".⁠ ⁠ Discover this bar as part of our National Chocolate Week Firetree Chocolate Bundle by clicking on the top link in our bio.

Time to introduce our FIVE new volcanic chocolate bars. Each day for the remainder of National Chocolate Week, we will guide you through a bar from our new 5-bar Innovations Collection. ⁠ ⁠ From the taste notes you can look forward to experiencing, the story behind the bar and to just why our Chocolate Maker deems it worthy of our new limited-edition Innovations by Firetree range. ⁠ ⁠ First up, the Hispaniola, Dominican Republic 72% cocoa bar... ⁠ ⁠ Cocoa beans from the northeast of the island give this varietal intense chocolate and brown fruit flavours, with spicy red fruit notes and a hint of green banana. ⁠ ⁠ Our Chocolate Maker chose this single-estate due to "the exceptional taste quality of cocoa beans from that particular cocoa growing area which exhibit these complex flavours in the finished chocolate". ⁠ ⁠ Discover this bar as part of our National Chocolate Week Firetree Chocolate Bundle by clicking on the top link in our bio.
