-
Blueberry & vanilla truffle
The forests around Braemar are carpeted with blaeberries (also called European blueberries).
We'd have loved to use these as they are sweeter and tastier than blueberries (a different family of fruit). But! They are important food for our local wildlife, so we've gone with good old blueberries instead.
-
Caithness Raiders Rum & raisin truffle
Made by the Ice and Fire Distillery near Wick, Raiders Rum is lighter in body and more delicate than traditional dark spiced rums, but packs in a lot of flavour, a solid punch of vanilla.
We think it brings a whole new dimension to the classic rum and raisin, especially when paired with a beautiful single origin milk chocolate -Caribe.With more than a hint of caramel in this single origin, we think our Raiders Rum & raisin truffles are slightly addictive!
-
Cranachan truffle
We couldn't miss our local whisky from our range, and so are delighted to include it in our tribute to the most Scottish of desserts. We make a raspberry pate de fruit, and top it with a smooth white chocolate ganache. To this we add two local ingredients - Royal Lochnagar whisky and Braemar honey. Topped with gluten free toasted oats.
-
Fresh Mint & Juniper Praline
Award-winner!
Right here just outside of Braemar is Morrone Birkwood. It is regarded as one of the finest examples of 'downy' birchwoods in the UK and with vast areas of juniper. We love its flavour, but it is currently under threat by loss of habitat and disease. So we only use commercially available juniper, and use it very sparingly in this classic pairing of mint and juniper.
Now an award winner - getting a bronze at the Scotland Retail Food & Drink Awards in 2022!
-
Glasgow roastery truffle
Based on the south side of Glasgow this coffee roaster knows how to do it - brilliantly.
We love their coffee and use their St Vincent Roast in this plant-based truffle and our Glasgow Roastery bar.
-
Isle of Skye whisky truffle
It's hard to know where to start with Talisker. Skye is a magical place and this distillery is in one of the most amazing corners of the island. From the oldest distillery on Skye this a strong whisky with a distinct peated smoky flavour.
-
Lemon posset praline
Our summer special to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is our take on what is widely known to be a favourite dessert in the Royal Family.
White chocolate filled with a lemon ganache and a drop of tangy lemon reduction.
-
Passionfruit & heather honey praline
The Heather Hills Farm is based just down the road from us - at Bridge of Cally - and has around 1,300 hives in Perthshire and Deeside.
We love their award winning heather honey, using its floral flavour in this chocolate, a beautiful pairing with passionfruit, creating our own Great Taste award winning praline,
-
Raspberry praline
Just to the south of us are Angus and Perthshire - famous for producing beautiful fruit, including the raspberry - probably Scotland's most famous.
It likes the conditions in this area of Scotland, developing a beautiful deep flavour which we pair simply with dark chocolate in this plant-based classic.
-
Salted caramel praline
With salt that is hand-harvested from Shetland's nutrient rich waters, we make small batches of caramel to create this classic praline.
-
Smoked & salted caramel praline
A slight twist on salted caramel, with both smoked and salted caramel, in rich dark chocolate, using Smoky Brae smoked sea salt.
-
Smoked gianduja truffle
We originally included a classic gianduja truffle because it is our chocolatiers favourite chocolate - just quality milk chocolate and Piedmont hazelnuts.
We like to think we've added a tiny touch of Mesolithic Scotland with roasted smoked hazelnuts in each truffle. Braemar is surrounded by incredible forests, we just had to use some of our Scots pine to enhance the smoke flavour.
-
Speyside whisky truffle
Benromach Organic single malt whisky was one of the first organic single malts and we love it!
It is sweet and malty, a beautifully creamy whisky. Paired with our strong milk chocolate, helping to make our luxurious Speyside truffle.
-
Strawberry & black pepper vinegar praline
This beautifully fruity strawberry is made with vinegar - but this is no ordinary vinegar!
No infusion, no shortcuts.We believe this vinegar gives a beautiful tang to this plant-based praline.
-
Vodka espresso praline
We are thrilled to have created this into our range.
This brings together two amazing Scottish ingredients - Thomson's coffee and Ogilvy vodka. Both are top-quality products that give a distinctly Scottish twist to this classic cocktail in a chocolate.
Milk chocolate shell filled with dark chocolate espresso ganache, with Ogilvy Vodka made in Forfar. This is a beautifully smooth and creamy vodka, made from potatoes on the Ogilvy family estate.
-
Ginger Caramel
We were asked for so long to make a ginger chocolate - so here it is. Caramel with stem ginger... light as a feather, super gingery and totally moreish!
