Chocolate Tree
Organic & Bean-to-Bar Chocolate
Chocolate Tree makes award-winning craft chocolate in East Lothian, Scotland, bringing together carefully sourced cacao and imaginative recipes. Our wholesale selection includes organic flavoured bars, the new Story Bar collection, Grand Cru chocolate and organic hazelnut spread for independent shops, delis, farm shops, food halls and cafés.
Chocolate Tree reflects what we look for at The Fine Food Forager: distinctive flavour, independent craftsmanship and care for how food is produced. Its commitment to cacao grown through agroforestry, organic ingredients and plastic-free bar packaging gives customers a story worth discovering alongside the chocolate itself.
Scottish craft chocolate with a sense of origin
Chocolate Tree works with cacao from smallholder farms and specialist sourcing partners in South and Central America. Agroforestry allows cacao to grow alongside other trees, supporting biodiversity and giving each origin its own character.
The team makes chocolate from bean to bar in Scotland. The range spans pure cacao, fruit and nut combinations, and recipes with Scottish ingredients and influences.
