Made in Cumbria brings you a selection of the finest artisan confectioners and chocolatiers in Cumbria and the Lake District. Handmade chocolate and sweets have been a feature of Cumbrian life for hundreds of years and is an industry that is still thriving today. The arrival of sugar and cocoa imports from South America and the West Indies at the West Coast seaports of Whitehaven, Maryport and Workington ensured plentiful supplies to our artisan confectioners and chocolatiers. This allowed for the creation of some the most delectable and indulgent sweet treats to be made right here in loving kitchens across Cumbria. The deep-rooted passion for creating these tempting treats has been passed on through generations and many traditional family recipes are still being used by traditional confectioners and chocolatiers in Cumbria.
For visitors to Cumbria and the Lake District, handmade chocolate and sweets make excellent gifts to take away from your excursion. Anything from delicious handmade fudge and treacle toffee to fancy homemade chocolate and truffles, the county remains a buzzing hub of traditional homemade sweet treats today. Not only do Cumbrian handmade chocolate and sweets taste good but they also look great too. Handmade chocolate and sweets from Cumbria are both culinary and visual delights.
