To further my career, I started working in 5* Hotels and fine dining restaurants. Gaining skills and knowledge in all areas of the catering industry.<\/p>\n<p>I had to give up my career because of ill-health that lasted over 10 years, and I am only now rediscovering my love for all things food, particularly making and creating chocolate bonbons and truffles.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst I was ill, I began making chocolate truffles for friends and family at Christmas, birthdays, and celebrations. After receiving many encouraging comments and suggestions, I began to explore the world of creating and designing chocolate bonbons, wanting to focus on traditional flavours that reminded me of some of those sweet treats of my childhood.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Mission&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#463E31&#8243; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|0px||||&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|208px||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1195px&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/adrianoliverchocolates.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1777632917600.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;1777632917600&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|26px||-20vw|false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|0px||||&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5%||5%||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b327cbe4-b1d5-4b66-ad37-40c8f2f061ba&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Petit Formal Script|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#D9B281&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>My Mission<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;1f09816e-184e-4ce5-a4cf-b39c52c423ca&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#D9B281&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|-321px||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;55px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>I hope to bring modern stylistic designs, using the finest quality ingredients and sustainable Belgian chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Although I still have much to learn I am excited by science of chocolate making and what it takes to create those melt-in-the-mouth explosions of wonderfulness.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#D9B281&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; width=&#8221;200%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|-164px||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|0px||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>My second passion is environmental issues and how the smallest things can help us look after the planet for many more generations to come.
