March 2007 First
Brick is Laid on the New Workshop in MadagascarThe first brick has now
been put in place for the new workshop being built onto the Akany Avoko orphanage
in Madagascar. This new workshop will provide training facilities for the orphans
in order to help prepare them for an improved adult life in Madagascar. The much
needed skills they will learn will give them the opportunity to earn a living
outside of the orphanage when they leave as adults. Casemir Chocolates are
very proud to be able to sponsor this work as part of our ongoing Social Responsibility
programme. Once built, Casemir Chocolates will sponsor two teachers for the workshop,
as well as continuing to sponsor two teachers for the Casemir classrooms built
and opened in 2006. (See the article from 14th March 2006 - "Social Responsibility
and Madagascar", below).

from the Akany Avoko orphanage. After displaying his brick laying skills the children
give him a warm round of applause!" Click

December 27th 2005 Change
of AddressAs you may have read from the trade press we are commencing
building work this year on our new production facility in East Enfield. As part
of this exercise we have decided not to renew our lease on the retail shop at
13 Piccadilly Arcade, London SW1. We will be keeping the shop, offices and packaging
premises in Tetherdown, London N10, at least until we move to the new factory. This
is an exciting time for Casemir as we will be able to produce some 6,000 kilos
per month in the most perfect environment as well as conduct educational trips
in chocolate work for customers. We have made provision for central London deliveries
and the level of service will not fall below what I hope are your highest expectations. In
the meantime could I ask you to update your records and correspond as follows: Casemir

September 2005 UK Great Taste ChallengeAt
this years UK Taste Challenge, generally regarded as the Oscars of the UK food
industry, Casemir Chocolates Ltd continued to set the standard in hand
made chocolates by winning two golds, a silver and a bronze. Winning gold
in the mint category was Casemir's Fresh Garden Mint. Two kilos of fresh garden
mint are used each week to make around seventeen kilos of chocolates. An infusion
is made from the leaves and marinated in Crème Fraiche for at least twenty
four hours. This is then blended with chocolate made from Sao Tome beans, these
are chosen for their low acidity and clean bitter aftertaste. The cocoa solids
are 75%. Finally the chocolate is enrobed and decorated with a single fork mark.
The second gold for Casemir's Basil was awarded in the plain chocolate single
flavour category. The same proportions of fresh basil and used as in the mint
chocolates. In addition four kilos of fresh strawberries and needed for seventeen
kilos of finished chocolates. After the infusion has marinated it is blended with
70% Madagascan chocolate, a perfect foil for the peppery taste of the basil. A
pinch of Turmeric is added which is also used as final decoration. The lesser
awards of silver and bronze were awarded to Casemir's pulped raspberry and Tonka
bean respectively. Casemir supply sixty of the AA's top 200 hotels and a
number of the countries best known restaurants from their modest production of
3,000 kilos of chocolates per month. Many of the centres are inspired by some
of the countries top chefs and are supplied exclusively to them. Amongst Casemir's
customers are The Ritz, Carlton Tower, Dukes, Stafford, Millenium and Marriott
Hotels. Although 85% of the chocolates produced go to the hospitality trade consumers
can purchase the award winning chocolates through the companies website www.casemirchocolates.co.uk
or at their shop The Chocolate House, Tetherdown, Muswell Hill, London N10 1ND
