Enter the doors of Greytown’s Schoc Chocolates and pause to inhale. All in the world (well your world at least) is immediately righted. The warm richness of the chocolate produced in this elegant studio wraps itself around you and instantly calms and reassures you.The studio is a tiny turn-of-the century cottage which is the original confectioner’s shop appropriately positioned right next to Cobblestones Museum. This is where owners and creators, Roger Simpson and Murray Langham and their team of talented chocolatiers have been producing a stunning range of hand-made tablets, individual chocolates and truffles since 2004.
So desirable are these chocolates, they send a regular order of 100 tablets every three months to a passionate fan in the USA.
Getting your hands on them is much easier.
Whether it is the best selling Chilli Lime Dark tablet or your choice of any of the 65 individual chocolates, you can visit the Greytown studio, open 7 days per week, or hop in to the online shop www.schoc.co.nz. The passionfruit, boysenberry and whisky, kiwi and vodka or tequila, lime and salt being stand out choices to this taster.
