Being something of a chocolate connoisseur - and when I say connoisseur I mean “mass consumer”, obviously - it would be foolish of me not to recommend some to you; and in this case I’m recommending the best chocolate I have every had the luck of tasting.

Montezuma’s chocolate don’t lie when they say their chocolate is smooth. It is smooth like an aging DJ, smooth like a rock worn away by a stream for a thousand years, smooth like ice. And if smooth just isn’t enough for you (are you insane?) then you can go for variety, with flavourings including fruits, mints, nuts and spices - the cinnamon and nutmeg chocolate is pure, simple, perfection.

If you live in the South of England then you’re sorted, because you can visit the Montezuma shops, which are palaces of chocolatey wonder. When I visited the Brighton shop you would’ve thought I’d never seen a chocolate button before - it was only sheer force that got me to leave, so amazed was I by my surroundings. For those of us not in the South - probably good for our bank balances and sanity - Montezuma’s is somewhat erratically stocked in various independent shops; there is no “official” stockists on the Montezuma web site, but personal experience tells that those stockists include Real Foods in Edinburgh.
