Las Trincheras 72%, Mini Dark Chocolate Bar

Willie's Cacao

£1.9

This mini chocolate bar is a great introduction to dark chocolate. 100% natural. Vegan As this Venezuelan dark chocolate melts, it takes you on an adventure in taste to the place where the cacao was born, in this case Hacienda Las Trincheras with its magical ruined columns. It took only one taste of this beautiful Trinitario bean for me to succumb to its rich, nutty, smoothness. Artisan chocolate, craft made from bean to bar, to capture the stunningly individual flavours of the world’s great cacaos. This takes up to 21 days at low temperatures, compared to industrial chocolate which is made in

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as WILLIES CACAO LIMITED, number 04360769. Checked 2026-09-06.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
