There’s something instantly captivating about this bar: a milk chocolate that feels indulgent yet unexpectedly refined. The flavour opens with creamy sweetness, then deepens into caramel warmth and quiet complexity — the hallmark of single-estate cacao grown in Surabaya’s volcanic soils and crafted bean-to-bar in Devon.

Willie’s commitment to purity and provenance shines through in every detail. With just cacao, raw cane sugar and natural cocoa butter, the recipe lets the flavour speak for itself. It’s the kind of craftsmanship we’re always drawn to: honest, meticulous and rooted in a genuine love of chocolate.

In both our Signature Box and Classic Box, this bar adds a smooth, elegant hit of indulgence. Its richness balances beautifully with more savoury elements, rounding out the collection with a moment that feels quietly luxurious and unmistakably special.

In the 1990s, adventurer and chocolate-maker Willie Harcourt-Cooze bought a cacao farm in Venezuela and began his lifelong pursuit of flavour. That journey led him to create Willie’s Cacao — one of the first true bean-to-bar chocolate makers in Britain.

Today, from his factory in Devon, Willie roasts and refines cacao from the world’s best single estates, turning them into pure chocolate that captures the soul of each origin. His passion for terroir and traditional craft has earned him a cult following among chefs, makers, and chocolate lovers alike.

Willie’s “Milk of the Stars” is milk chocolate with real depth — made from single-estate cacao grown in the lush, volcanic soils of Surabaya, Indonesia. At 54%, it sits in that perfect middle ground: creamy and comforting like milk chocolate, but with enough cacao to deliver complexity, richness, and a lingering caramel warmth.

Made bean-to-bar in Devon using just cacao, raw cane sugar, and natural cocoa butter, this chocolate showcases Willie’s craft at its best. No vanilla, no emulsifiers, no unnecessary ingredients — just beautiful cacao handled with care.

It’s luxurious, melt-in-the-mouth and full of flavour — the kind of bar you savour square by square.
