Global appetite for Burren chocolate

Valentine’s Day will always be a special anniversary for Irish chocolate maker, writes Trish Dromey.

Lavendar truffles and cacao tea will be the order of the day at Hazel Mountain Chocolate in Clare as it celebrates three years in business on Valentine’s Day.

Since starting out as the first company to produce bean-to-bar milk chocolate using Irish dairy milk, it has been the first in the country to blend cacao petals to produce cacao tea and has also more recently opened Ireland’s first cacao brew bar in Galway.
