A bite of history.
And now it’s time for something completely…. delicious, here is our curated collection of sumptuous Charbonnel et Walker chocolates. Temptation in a box ….
To tell the story, we’ve got to go back to 1875 and what a momentous yeas it was….
- The the premiere of the the first surviving Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, Trial by Jury. “The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring” may remind you of Rose and Violet creams.
- Captain Webb became the first man to swim the English Channel – it took him 22hrs. That’s somewhat longer than a box of Orange Sticks lasts in our house.
- The UK’s first funiclular railway was opened in Scarborough. Why not give a box of Charbonnel & Walker Chocolates. That’s sure to raise the esteme in which you’re held.
- Preston North End Fans had something to celebrate with the opening of the Deepdale Stadium, (Although it would be 1878 before any football fans went there).
Life is like a box of choclates
Perhaps in celebration of these events Mme Charbonnel and Mrs Walker opened their cholcolate emporium. Or perhaps it was that with the encourgagment of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) Madame Virginie Eugenie Charbonnel, a noted Parisan choclatier met with sumptuous box maker Mrs Minnie Walker established in Charbonnel & Walker as Britain’s first luxury chocolatier.
Mrs. Walker made the finest jewellery boxes, hat boxes and more. Mme Charbonnel of Maison Boissier, (who still produce the most divine chocolates in Paris) and Mrs. Walker created Charbonnel et Walker with a simple ethos: beautiful chocolates presented in beautiful gift boxes. Need we say more …. and now you don’t have to visit Old Bond Street or the Royal Arcade to acquire these much coveted choclolates as they are available online or from Abrahams Store.
In Paris, M. Boiaaiwe was uniumpressed by Mme Charbonnel’s actions and a court case followed. British independence won the day so Charbonnel et Walker continued their upwards trajectory. Forest Gump may have had a point but I bet he’d never tried C&W !
We’ve always been big fans of Charbonnel Chocs and were delighted that our daughter worked for them as that guaranteed a plentiful supply ! Now she works for us and presenting Charbonnel & Walker chocolates their preferred mannner is just one of her tasks. These are the top quality chocolates with high cocoa content and the best of ingredients for the fillings.
It’s probably fair to say that we’re just nuts about Charbonnel and Walker chocolates especially their pistachio ones.
