Luxury department store Selfridges has opened its brand new confectionery hall, boasting the largest vegan chocolate counter in the land.
In addition to its cruelty-free counter, the brand new shiny space features more than 1,500 sweets and chocolates from over 40 confectionery houses across the planet.
Leading brands include the likes of Carpo, Neuhaus, Charbonnel et Walker, Pierre Marcolini, Artisan du Chocolate, Rococo Godiva, K+M chocolate (the brainchild of Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller and Italian oil producer Armando Manni) and Diggle chocolates, the London-based chocolatier who created the world’s first cheesy chocolate truffles. We’re still not too sure how we feel about those.
Names, names, names. Indeed, but the biggest sell is the sparkly glass palace that is the vegan counter.
Set to be the UK’s largest of its kind, The ‘Vegan Chocolatier’ will bash out 20 hand-picked options courtesy of Brighton-based house Be Chocolat by Michel Clement. Think almond praline square dipped in chocolate, truffles with pure peanut butter, praline and vegan caramel and a coconut bars with honeycomb rock dipped in dark chocolate. All very lush.
For Christmas, 26 advent calendars will pop up along the space’s pristine walls. Split into American, classic, traditional, vegan and jelly belly, you can get your hands on everything from Venchi favourites to luxe Prestat truffles and adorable Candy Kittens.
If that’s not enough for you, head up to the fourth floor to FAO Schwarz where you can feast on a pick ‘n’ mix train full of FAO Schweetz and 2lb Giant Gummy Bears.
Enjoy the sugar crash, and remember, Christmas stockings are coming.
