Acorn Wholefood Café, located in the heart of the Shropshire Hills, has been announced as the 300th UK stockist of Marimba’s award-winning Hot Chocolate Melt drinks. As a café that focuses on quality food and carefully-sourced ingredients, owner Chris Bland was keen to serve a premium drinking chocolate that would appeal to customers who are looking for a ‘real chocolate’ experience.
Explains Chris Bland: “Here at the Acorn Wholefood Café, it is all about providing customers with home cooked, quality food using fresh, ethically sourced ingredients. I want our drinks menu to also offer an experience that people will remember us for. I have been researching into premium real-chocolate drinks for some time and so when I tried a sample of Marimba’s single-origin Melt drinks, I knew this was exactly what I’d been looking for.”
Marimba World Chocolate is a chocolatier based in Suffolk, which created the Hot Chocolate Melt. Made using flakes of real single-origin milk, dark or white chocolate and subsequently blended with milk, each Hot Chocolate Melt contains the equivalent of a 40g chocolate bar in every serve; this creates a highly indulgent and memorable drinking experience.
Continues Chris Bland: “We are currently serving the dark and milk Marimba Melts and, I’m pleased to say that the feedback so far has been excellent. It really is just like drinking a bar of chocolate and customers are impressed. I can see the Melts being popular throughout the year, but particularly so with winter upon us as they are a real treat to anyone looking for a warming, comforting hot chocolate – made from the finest real chocolate flakes.”
The Acorn Wholefood Café caters for many specialist diets and tastes, including gluten free, sugar free, wheat free, vegetarian and vegan. The team prides itself on cooking everything in-house, and in picking all the fruit for its fruit pies and crumbles. It also makes its own marmalade, humus, mincemeat, salad dressings and its renowned speciality hot meat pies.
Added Brad Wright, operations manager for Marimba World Chocolate: “We are pleased to welcome Acorn Wholefood Café as the 300th stockist of our award-winning Marimba Hot Chocolate Melt drinks. We source very high quality single-origin chocolate for our Melts and then create the flakes in our Suffolk kitchens. I think Chris liked the fact that not only are we sourcing the finest quality chocolate, but we are a family-run business that runs with the same quality ethics and values as her café.”
