Áine Handmade Chocolate

About the company

The company was founded in 1999 by Ann Rudden, a passionate master chocolatier with 23 years' experience in the chocolate industry. Her vision was to create chocolate as it should be: mouth-watering magic that is made with only the purest, freshest, all-natural ingredients sourced locally where possible.

Today, Áine's Chocolate employs a team who shares that passion for producing heavenly handmade chocolate, leading to 25 Great Taste awards. All products are gluten-free, with sugar-free products also available.
