Meet the Machines

The beauty of the bean-to-bar chocolate world is that it’s a small industry. Although that means there aren’t very many machines designed specifically for manufacturing small batches of Chocolate, it also means that we’ve had the opportunity to get creative with the restoration of some incredible antique production machines. 

Over the years, Mike has developed a bit of a mad scientist persona when it comes to our machines. He’s grown accustomed to experimenting and tinkering with new ways to streamline production and find better ways to produce chocolate. That also means that, as production has expanded, the machines have had to evolve too! Mike has had the fun and unusual task of renovating machinery that’s better suited to the tasks at hand. 

Here’s a little bit about a few of our amazing machines. Not only do they feel like members of the Chocolarder family, but they’ve been saved from all over the world and transported to our factory here in Cornwall.
