When you take that first bite of Áine’s Handmade Chocolate, you notice it immediately — the silky melt, the balanced flavour, the perfect snap. While our craft and tempering skills play a role, the real magic starts long before the chocolate reaches our kitchen in Co. Cavan.
At Áine’s, we believe great chocolate begins with great ingredients — and we choose every single one with care.
🌿 Only the Finest Cocoa
We source our cocoa from trusted growers who share our values for quality and sustainability. These beans are carefully selected for their depth of flavour and natural aroma — the foundation for the rich, velvety taste you expect from Áine’s.
🚫 Nothing Artificial
Every bar is:
Free from artificial colours, flavourings, and preservatives
Completely gluten-free This means the flavour you’re tasting comes from the ingredients themselves, not additives.
🥛 Creamy, Pure Dairy
For our milk chocolate, we use the finest dairy ingredients to give that smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Combined with cocoa butter, it creates a chocolate that’s both creamy and balanced — never overly sweet.
💜 Handcrafted with Care
Even the best ingredients need the right hands to bring them to life. Our chocolatiers work in small batches, carefully tempering and moulding to preserve the purity of the cocoa and ensure that perfect texture every time.
✨ Taste the Difference
The secret to smooth chocolate isn’t a secret at all — it’s simply a commitment to quality, honesty, and craftsmanship. That’s why every bite of Áine’s Handmade Chocolate delivers the same experience: pure indulgence, made the right way.
