Melt Chocolates

Louise Nason founded Melt Chocolates in 2005, with the guiding principle of the pursuit of health & happiness for her children, family, friends, and neighbours.

The name Melt was conceived over a blissful meal one balmy summer evening at the River Café in London. Louise, was searching for a word used in chocolate terminology as well as one having good associations, and the word melt does just that.

Chocolate, which melts at body temperature, should dissolve in your mouth in a silky mass, exploding with different flavours. A complex food with over 400 flavour notes, at its best it can provide an overwhelming taste sensation, lingering in your mouth long after the chocolate has melted away.

At worst it can be cloying, sickly and sweet but this is not what chocolate should be. Always hunt down the best. Bars should be of excellent quality, well made and stored at the right temperature and chocolates should be fresh.

Melt was created two years after her fourth child was born and almost became an extra member of the family. Its character is bright, excitable, spontaneous and it certainly has an interesting future.
 

We have a strong ethos and we follow the same principles that
Louise uses when cooking for her family at home: get the best raw ingredients, never compromise, and make sure everything is fresh.

Melt is a family-owned independent chocolate business which is based in Notting Hill. Melt is headquartered, makes, and retails all its fresh chocolates in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. Melt is London’s Most Luxurious Chocolate Company.

Melt is the antithesis of corporate, which gives us the opportunity to be truly creative. Recipes can be inspired by a mood, a person, an encounter, or a chat with a customer. With excellent ingredients, skill, experience and imagination, our chocolatiers are able to create wonderfully innovative chocolates and bars.

Melt makes London’s most luxurious chocolates. Our chocolate boutiques are based in the heart of Notting Hill and Holland Park. Our fresh chocolates are handmade by world-class chocolatiers.  Fresh chocolate tastes like nothing else, it is truly sublime.

All our recipes are designed in-house by the Melt chocolatiers. So come and see our kitchen in our store which is a hub of creative activity. The Melt team makes truffles on a daily basis to ensure you have delicious, fresh chocolates.

Melt’s unique approach is to have the kitchen in the shop, so you can see your chocolates being made right in front of you. Choose your chocolates and we can gift wrap them for you. Our store appeals to all your six senses: sight, touch, smell and of course taste. Watching chocolate being made is fascinating and the smell is intoxicating.

Chocolate is the only food that melts at body temperature, hence our name. You can only appreciate chocolate if you let it melt slowly in your mouth – so we encourage you to taste the best chocolate and let it linger in your mouth in a seductive way.
