House of Dorchester roots are set in Dorchester where they remain today, although in a very different place to "The Dorset Maid" chocolate shop where it all started on the High Street in 1963. Finding top notch chocolate to stock their shop proved so much more difficult than had been expected that their founders decided to make their own! A local lady trained in the fine art of hand tempering and fork dipping chocolates sat in the shop front making all the lovely, luxury chocolates by hand. She really was their "Dorset Maid".
Word spread quickly and pretty soon a whole team of people were hand making chocolates above the shop for sale downstairs. Today House of Dorchester makes a range of scrumptious chocolate products for some of the UK's leading hotels, restaurants, shops and venues and are now enjoyed around the world.
