The idea for Gorvett & Stone began in 2003 when our two founding members, Elinor Gorvett and Matthew (yes you guessed it) Stone, took a break from their careers in wine and went on a long, long trip..... During their travels they realised that, in some countries, chocolate was considered to be a commodity as complex, diverse and interesting as wine. Back home chocolate had not yet reached this status but there was no reason why fine chocolate couldn't be more available. Our first shop opened in 2004 on 28 Duke Street. We tried a LOT of different couvertures before we found the right one for us and our (hopefully) future customers. All our recipes and products are made using a french chocolate. World renowned for its luxurious quality and high cocoa content our supplier also trades ethically and builds long term relationships with its producers. After all, anything we consume is more enjoyable when we can be happy in the knowledge that no one has been exploited during its production. We created all our recipes from scratch and these days every member of the G&S team is involved in developing new products and tweaking existing ones. We can be very proud that our Cinder Toffee has some of the largest bubbles on the market!
