Why is it so expensive?

One of very few luxury chocolatiers who is genuinely bean-to-bar behind the pralines.
The ganaches are made to be eaten within weeks — freshness is part of the price.
The packaging budget is visible from space, and as a gift that's precisely the job.

Would we buy it?

A plausible gift candidate at the corrected £48 price.

As a habit

Pump Street remains the cheaper tasting comparison; neither product has yet been independently tasted for this site.
