AD| Green and Black’s Velvet Edition
When it comes to paid partnerships, I have to say working with a chocolate brand I LOVE has to be up there with blog collaboration goals.
When they asked if I would like to try their new Velvet Edition range, I jumped at the chance. A range of 7 different chocolate bars, with 7 different and very delicious, flavours.
The range includes a 70% Cocoa, the classic rich but smooth chocolate flavour. Roasted Almond using high quality Mediterranean Almonds which are roasted in their skin for added flavour. Raspberry and Hazelnut, I LOVE this one… the Raspberries really compliment the smooth chocolate and the Hazelnuts add a lovely crunch. Salted Caramel, which I think is a nice addition and a more modern flavour that I know lots of people love. Sea Salt, my favourite of the 7, I am a sucker for the sweet and salty combination and this satisfies both of those flavours, using Anglesey Sea Salt which I also love for its high quality. Orange and Almond, which uses Sicilian blood orange oil and sweet chopped Almonds. Then last but not least, another classic combination, Mint… I know Mint Chocolate is a bit of nation divider but this one uses Indian Peppermint Oil and is lovely with the Sweet Chocolate.
Another thing I love about Green and Blacks chocolate is the fact that it is made with ethically sourced cocoa beans, they source the beans through Cocoa Life which is a global program that invests in sustainable cocoa farming… they help communities grow and learn to try an help make sure there is a sustainable future for Cocoa farming, which is only a good thing.
The brand was actually started by a husband and wife team back in 1991 in their flat in Portobello Road, they were the first people to create a high quailiy 70% chocolate bar in the UK and today Green and Blacks still use the highest quality ingredients to create delicious chocolate.The new Velvet Edition range retails at £2 per bar, which I honestly think is so reasonable for what you get… I love treating myself to Green and Blacks as I’m more likely to actually savour and enjoy eating it and I will be buying some of the Velvet Edition Range as Christmas gifts and treats for people because it just feels that bit more luxurious and special.
I am going to be stocking up the Sea Salt and Salted Caramel for myself incase those birthday hints go unnoticed! Please let me know which ones you try and love!
