Our Passion
Over 40 years ago Master Chocolatier, Richard Ungaretti, took his passion for the art of fine chocolate and created a company that continues to tantalise the taste buds of customers around the world to this day. Perfectly balanced ingredients, innovative taste sensations and traditional production methods combine to produce confectionary so exceptional that it exceeds all expectations.
Chocolate at its finest
House of Dorchester uses only the finest ingredients to produce unique chocolate that stirs all the senses. From the combination of aromas to perfect packaging that you´ll want to give as a gift to your loved ones, nothing is left to chance. While we source ingredients locally where possible, we also search the globe for elements that make our recipes 'just so'. Whether its pistachio paste from Sicily or cocoa beans from Ecuador, Malaysia and the Ivory Coast, we spare no effort in producing chocolate that delights from the first bite. All our products are free from hydrogenated fat, and nearly all are free from artificial colours and artificial flavours, giving our chocolates a more natural, cleaner taste.
Innovation in confection
Recipes can take years to perfect and at House of Dorchester we are dedicated to creating the highest quality chocolate full of subtle flavours. Our New Product Development department is committed to researching the chocolate market for the latest ingredients, trends and ideas.
Hand finished in the House of Dorchester
Traditional methods are still the best way of creating our wonderful centers which are hand finished chocolates, with panache, elegance and style. House of Dorchester is proud to continue these time-honoured techniques to craft our fondants, truffles, marzipan, praline and secret recipe chocolate of course.
