 Opening their doors at Easter in 2004 Gorvett and Stone are now firmly established as a foodie destination in Henley. Their hand-made selections - I usually ask for a selection in the mid-sized box (at £6 or thereabouts) for any chocolate-based gift I happen to require. Their website allows for on-line purchasing.

They have just won a Taste Award, a Gold, for their Fresh Mint Dark Chocolate Truffles. These are made with a 61% French chocolate using beans from Venezuela and Equatorial Africa. Fresh mint is infused with fresh cream and chocolate to make the filling. This is then doubled dipped in the same chocolate. All products are small-batch made in the kitchen 'out-the-back'.

In addition to their own creations they also sell bars from Valrhona, Dolfin and Domori, various hot chocolate mixes from France, treats for the kids, fondues and pastilles.

I'll have to add this to my list of places to buy chocolate online.

Do they do any choc truffles involving cheese? I'm searching for some examples of this to win a bet with my boyfriend. I know that Vosges in USA does, but that's all I've found! I know it sounds crazy but I love the combination. My boyfriend, a Swissman, finds this deplorable.
