Clarrey Dark Chocolate Bar

Dark chocolate flavoured with a medieval spice mix for Clarrey

(Galingale, Cinnamon, Grains of Paradise, Pepper)

We have taken a 14th-century spice mix of Galangal, Cinnamon, Grains of Paradise, and Pepper, used to make Clarrey—a spiced white wine —and combined it with dark chocolate to create an exotic spiced chocolate with a flavour profile of warmth and spice.

The name ‘Clarrey’ comes from the Latin vinum claratum, meaning ‘clarified wine’. The name survives today as ‘claret’. This Clarrey recipe comes from the 14th century collection of recipes, The Forme of Cury, written in the 1390s. Clarrey, or clarree, is mentioned by Chaucer in both the Knight's Tale and the Merchant's Tale: “He drynketh ypocras, clarree, and vernage, Of spices hoote, t'encreessen his corage;” (Canterbury Tales).
