Plamil Chocolate

Plamil has been making its own chocolate for decades. Our expertise in making quality chocolates ensures each bar is sumptuous tasting with a superfine texture that just melts in the mouth.

In addition to being completely dairy and gluten free our bars are now manufactured in our 'no nuts used here' factory

Dairy free plain, mint and orange chocolate

These rich chocolates are a family favorite, and to our assured dairy free chocolate we add natural mint or orange oil to wonderfully complement the taste of the cocoa.

Alternative to milk chocolate

Our alternative to milk chocolate has all the special qualities of our chocolates, plus even more soy to make this bar ideal for all those who love the taste of dairy milk chocolate without the dairy milk.

New 'no added sugar' chocolate

We've added snack bars to our popular range of 'no added sugar' chocolates and made the bars a touch richer than before with more cocoa. Now these bars are 72% cocoa and we've included a new Mint flavour in the range of snack bars.

Our 'no added sugar' bars use the sweetness of Xylitol, which is made from birch trees. Xylitol is known to have benefits in oral health and therefore ideal for those who do not want sugar replaced by chemical alternatives. The hemp in the Shelled Hemp variety is rich in protein and a source of essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9.

Chocolate drop snack pots

Specially formulated these drops are ideal as a snack or can be used in baking and cooking.

The Plamil guarantee

Our velvety textured, superb tasting chocolates do not contain any dairy ingredient nor are any used in production as a processing aid. So they're suitable for those allergic to dairy milk chocolate as well as vegans and vegetarians. All our confections (except the 'no added sugar' varieties) are made using organic raw cane sugar.

Many other specialist chocolate products available are made using reworked imported 'ready made chocolate', or contract-made by large chocolate companies, often leading to potential problems of contamination with other chocolate formulations. We at Plamil make our own, which is why for instance we can guarantee our products to be completely dairy free.

Why 'alternative to'

You may ask, "Why do the dairy free chocolates say 'alternative to' on the labels?". Well, a couple of decades ago the men in grey suits in the EC decided to list soya as an ingredient that would not be allowed in chocolate when describing chocolate in the chocolate labelling regulations! Not surprisingly this went unnoticed for a few decades. Considered as 'daft' by all that now see the regulation, it's still the regulation, so we have to lawfully describe it as 'alternative to' although it has more chocolate in it than many dairy chocolate bars. All questions to the men in grey suits please...

Raw

We love making fine chocolate with the good nutritional properties of cocoa, and it's a delicate process, with our top temperatures typically only reaching about 46 degrees centigrade. Our bars are not made with cocoa ingredients, sometimes described as raw but more commonly used in cosmetics, nor do we use cocoa powder in our chocolates, which is more commonly found in cheap chocolate imitations.
