Our History of Chocolat D'Amour
Chocolat d’Amour is a boutique haven for lovers of luxury, craftsmanship, and sensory indulgence. Since opening our doors in 2022, our journey has been shaped by passion, creativity, and a commitment to offering something truly special. While our trading has been on and off throughout the years—due to growth, development, and the natural evolution of a small artisan business—our dedication to quality and artistry has never wavered. Each phase of our journey has allowed us to refine our vision, curate exceptional products, and build a brand that reflects our love for beauty, flavour, and meaningful craftsmanship.
At the heart of Chocolat d’Amour is our exclusive partnership with the renowned Scottish chocolatier Iain Burnett. His award-winning creations, known for their smooth textures and exquisite flavour profiles, embody the luxury and elegance that inspire everything we offer. Our customers can enjoy these chocolates individually as one-off indulgences or through our monthly subscription boxes, crafted for those who crave a regular moment of pure delight.
Alongside our chocolates, we handcraft luxury candles poured with care, using premium ingredients and sophisticated fragrances. These too are available individually or via monthly subscription, allowing customers to create a continuous atmosphere of warmth and refinement in their homes. Completing our curated collection is our range of unique resin art pieces—each one a one-of-a-kind statement of creativity that cannot be duplicated, available exclusively as individual works of art.
Chocolat d’Amour is more than a shop; it is the culmination of years of dedication, experimentation, and a deep passion for thoughtfully made products. Our history may be small, but it is rich with creativity, growth, and a desire to bring joy to every customer who discovers us. We look forward to continuing this journey, sharing our love of luxury and artistry with those who appreciate the finer things in life.
About Iian Burnett Our Chocolatier
Highland chocolatier
My team, my family and I work together in beautiful Highland Perthshire, Scotland
to create some of the world’s most highly awarded chocolates. We welcome visitors from all over the world through our doors and supply clients around the globe. I hope you’ll enjoy tasting them as much as we enjoy making them!
Award-winning Master Chocolatier
Iain Burnett grew up on a Scottish island learning to combine spices with local ingredients in his father’s kitchen. He trained under Master Chocolatiers of the French, Belgian and Swiss schools to develop his own unique style of chocolate making and his technically difficult pure Velvet Truffles®. He inherited his mother’s perfectionism and his passion for excellence in chocolate has since received over 60 national and international awards.
Craftmanship and the Pursuit of Perfection
Iain created his special Chocolate Kitchen and magical chocolate shop in a small village in Highland Perthshire, an area renowned for its dairies, berries, honey, and natural beauty. It took 3 years and 120 variations of recipe and techniques to create the first Velvet Truffle. His team comes from local families that share the passion for craftmanship and his apprentice chocolatiers train for over 3 years.
Exquisite Ingredients
Fresh ingredients, without the usual artificial preservatives and additives to create a luxurious ganache with no hard chocolate shell
Iain’s goal was to use only natural, fresh ingredients, without the usual artificial preservatives and additives to create a luxurious ganache with no hard chocolate shell. He sources a sustainable and intense, rare cocoa from the volcanic island of São Tomé with an exceptional range of fruity, aromatic and spicy characteristics. He meticulously combines this with fresh cream from local herds of Scottish Friesians, local heather honey and fruit infused with natural spices to create flavours and textures to delight the palate.
Accolades
Throughout the years, Iain has had many extraordinary customers – from Michelin Star chefs to youngsters of six who save their pennies to buy their favourite single truffle. Iain’s client list now includes royalty, hoteliers, chefs and the young at heart around the world, and awards include repeatedly Best Truffle in the World at the International Chocolate Awards, Gold from Academy of Chocolate, and Triple Gold at the Great Taste Awards. However the greatest accolade remains the smile on anyone’s face when they taste their first Velvet Truffle!
