Stepping into the world of artisan chocolate at Land Chocolate is an experience that engages all the senses. I love chocolate, and it’s immediately clear that Phil Landers does too. From humble beginnings to international recognition, his craft remains deeply rooted in London’s East End.

Watching Phil strip chocolate back to its essentials—transforming raw cacao into rich, complex bars—is mesmerising. The rhythmic grind of beans, the glossy flow of tempered chocolate, the careful hands shaping each piece—it’s a process of pure artistry.

Every cocoa bean is treated with meticulous care, ensuring that quality never comes at the expense of sustainability. “Once the cocoa has arrived in our workshop, it’s our job to extract the array of natural flavours locked within the bean and create enjoyment in one of its purest forms.”
