Duffy's Chocolate

About

Duffy's Chocolate is a pioneering British bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Lincolnshire, UK. Founded by Duffy Sheardown in 2009, the company began selling its first bars in 2010. Duffy's journey into chocolate started after a career in motor racing, inspired by a radio program highlighting Cadbury's as the only UK company making chocolate from cocoa beans at the time. He learned chocolate-making techniques over 18 months, eventually renting a small factory to start his business. Duffy's Chocolate is renowned for its high-quality, handmade products, sourced directly from farmers to ensure fair prices and support small businesses. The company offers a range of milk, dark, dark milk, and flavored bars, with a focus on single-origin chocolates. Duffy's process involves careful roasting and stone-grinding, followed by a maturation period to enhance flavors. The company has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Academy of Chocolate Golden Bean Award. Duffy's commitment to quality and ethical sourcing has made it a leader in the craft chocolate industry.
