Chocolate Trading Company discount codes and voucher codes are listed above. Here is what the shop sells, how chocolate should be ordered and stored, and what a Chocolate Trading Company discount code covers.

About Chocolate Trading Company

The Chocolate Trading Company is a British specialist retailer selling fine chocolate from a range of makers rather than producing its own, which is why the catalogue reaches across countries and styles.
It sells to people buying a gift and to people buying for themselves, and the two want different things — presentation in the first case, origin and percentage in the second.

What they sell

Boxed chocolates and truffles, bars from named makers, single-origin and high-percentage dark chocolate, cooking chocolate and cocoa, hampers, wedding favours and corporate gifts.
Gift wrapping and personalised messages are offered on much of the range, and hampers are assembled rather than bought in, which affects the lead time on larger orders.

Buying and keeping fine chocolate

Percentage tells you cocoa content, not quality. A seventy per cent bar from a careful maker and a seventy per cent supermarket bar are different products, and origin, bean and conching matter more than the number on the front.
Chocolate is temperature sensitive. It blooms — goes pale and streaky — if it is warmed and cooled, which is a cosmetic change rather than spoilage but is unappealing in a gift. Summer deliveries are the risk, and reputable sellers pack accordingly; store it cool and dark rather than in a fridge, where it takes on odours and condensation.
Fresh cream truffles have a short life and are a different proposition from a box of ganaches that keeps for months. Check the shelf life before ordering ahead for an occasion, and check the allergen information, since nuts and milk are handled in most chocolate kitchens even where a product does not contain them.

Using a Chocolate Trading Company discount code

Assemble the order, put the code in at the checkout and confirm the total before paying. These appear as Chocolate Trading Company discount codes, voucher codes and promo codes.
Free delivery thresholds are common here and are calculated on the goods value before a code is applied, so a percentage can drop an order back below the threshold. Hampers, personalised items and seasonal ranges are the usual exclusions.
