Alba Chocolate is based in Newtonmore, in the Highlands of Scotland.
We specialise in high-quality, handmade chocolates which are full of flavour. We use Fairtrade ingredients, and use no preservatives or artificial colours.
As some of you know we closed Alba Chocolate on the 6th of January. Over the last year, we've become increasingly aware that it's time to move on. Although it was a very difficult decision we feel it is the right one.
A part of us is sad, a part of us is glad of the skills we've learned along the way but mostly we're looking forward to new opportunities. Gemma is going back to being a ranger at Cairngorm Mountain and Mehmet going to focus more on his mountaineering work (Northern Aspect).
We would like our work to carry on so we are going to try to sell Alba Chocolate. Over our busy Christmas period, we've not had a chance to think about that but we will now shift our focus to it.
Thank you for your support over the years. We know some of you will be very disappointed but, hopefully, we will find a way for Alba Chocolate to carry on without us.

Our Workshops and Tastings were getting increasingly popular and we believe this is where the future of the business lies.
