Quirky Chocolate Q & A
What makes your business unique?
We combine the amazing talents of our in-house chocolatiers with the talents of independent illustrators, designers and creatives. We pay a royalty to the artists for each sale featuring their work, so by choosing Quirky Chocolate you're also supporting the independent creative community directly. It allows us to continue to bring you fresh and inspiring designs while we can concentrate on delivering delicious new flavours.
What were some highlights of working on the Pink Castle project?
We felt honoured and excited when we were approached to be involved in the Pink Castle project. We were proud to be creating a product that celebrates such an iconic Scottish landmark. The opportunity to create something unique and meaningful, while collaborating with a prestigious organization like the National Trust for Scotland was a really rewarding experience.
Can you share insights into the sourcing of ingredients for the Pink Castle chocolate bar?
Ingredients for the Pink Castle chocolate bar were sourced with an emphasis on quality and sustainability. We use locally sourced ingredients where possible, ensuring that the chocolate bar not only supports local producers but also aligns with the ethos of the National Trust for Scotland. Additionally, there was a commitment to using ethically sourced cocoa to ensure that the production process was environmentally friendly and socially responsible.
