Did you know that there is a magical chocolate factory at the end of the world? In the spectacular surrounds of St. Finian’s Bay, on the coast of County Kerry, Skelligs Chocolate is made by hand. And the flavour is as good as the view!
Skelligs Chocolate is produced in the coastal village of The Glen, overlooking the UNESCO world heritage island of Skellig Michael. Founded by artisanal chocolatiers, the brand harnesses Ireland’s lush landscapes and dairy traditions. Skelligs uses single-origin cocoa beans (sourced ethically) and blends them with fresh Irish milk from Kerry cows. These cows graze on mineral-rich grasses, yielding milk with higher butterfat content—around 4%—which translates to a creamier texture.
The 33% cocoa milk chocolate isn’t overwhelmingly sweet. Instead, it offers a velvety smooth texture with just enough sugar complement the rich, creamy flavour, with subtle notes of caramel. Independent reviews praise its “clean finish” and absence of the waxy aftertaste which is often the downfall of more commercial chocolate products.
If you appreciate craftsmanship and the beauty that lies in simple things being done well, Skelligs Milk Chocolate might just be what you’re looking for.
