Barebones Chocolate
Award winning chocolate from local legends.
Bare Bones Chocolate is a micro-batch, bean to bar chocolate company based in Glasgow created by Cameron and Lara. As chocolate and speciality food enthusiasts, they wanted to create their own brand that was built on incredible chocolate with impeccable detail through every process. They make their chocolate in the Bare Bones workshop in the centre of Glasgow, roasting cacao on a modified coffee roaster and they have engineered some of their equipment from scratch, to get the best possible quality for their batch sizes.
