COCO – The Art of Chocolate collaborates with Glasgow textile studio Timorous Beasties on the design of two new limited edition bars launching on 18 January 2020.
āThe collaboration was very straight forward. COCO has an ethos that I suppose you could compare to ours: in matters of originality and producing a good quality product, in small batches. Clearly their ingredients are not for everyone, which is the same for our products. Our products are not for everyoneā. Alistair McAuley, Timorous Beasties
āWe have worked with several international artists over the years, but there is something special about joining forces with another creative Scottish brand that shares our passion for innovation in art, in the way Timorous Beasties do. I believe this is the kind of project that places us at the forefront of Scotlandās contemporary food & drink scene and Iām very pleased with the results of this collaborationā. Calum Haggerty, Director, COCO.
COCO is a leading ethical chocolate manufacturer, sourcing the ļ¬nest South American chocolate from Colombia, to then create chocolate products in their Edinburgh kitchen with a team of passionate chocolatiers.
