Discover Chocolate and Live La Vida Cocoa!
Where can I find for purchase a wide selection of chocolate from a variety of different fine chocolatiers?
Greetings to my fellow chocolate lovers. The passage of time effects surprising changes.... I was the girl on the block who gave away her Halloween candy. I didn't like sweets - especially chocolate! Fast forward many years - and here I am posting on thechocolatelife. I'm fairly new to fine chocolate. I'm looking for a company that I can order from that sells a selection - not just from one chocolatier. Chatham's stock represented 200+ chocolates from fine chocolatiers world-wide. Any suggestions for websites, companies, etc.? Unfortunately, Chatham's of Scottsdale/Phoenix has closed shop.

Hi April,
The best chocolate shop that I have seen is Ye Olde Friars. Living in northern England we used to holiday ever summer in the Lakes and one of the highlights of this trip was visiting this shop. Anyways enough of the reminiscing! They have just launched their web-site which is fantastic news as a live in the south now. I don't know what your tastes are but I love the dark chocolate cherry liqueurs which have the stalks and pips still attached. Also I have developed a taste for the unusual Hachez bars, flavours such as strawberry and pepper. Weird but surprisingly tasty! That’s enough waffling from me, here's the web address

Chocosphere has a great selection. The owners are very helpful and I've always been very pleased with how promptly and efficiently I get my orders.
The Meadow has a good selection, but their prices are higher than Chocoshpere (at least the one time I ordered).
World wide chocolate also has a great selection, but I haven't ordered from them.
