EXPLORE OUR STORY

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 100 national and international awards.

CHOCOLATE SHOP

Craftmanship and the Pursuit of Perfection

Iain Burnett first created the 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, the Highland Chocolatier has had many extraordinary customers – from Michelin Star chefs to youngsters of six who save their pennies to buy their favourite single truffle. The 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!
