rumsey's history

 

 

Rumsey’s Chocolates have been creating hand-made chocolates since 1991. Our range includes top quality chocolates, truffles and petit fours and are produced by Chocolatier and Patissier Nigel Rumsey, a chef with nearly 30 years experience. There are over 40 different types of chocolates and truffles, each with its own distinct flavour.

Entering the Great Taste Awards at London Olympia for the first time in 2002, Rumsey’s was accredited with 8 Fine Food awards including Gold for Orange Cointreau Truffles.

Since starting the business he has been to London, Paris and Geneva, to learn the innermost secrets of the gourmet chocolate makers of Europe. Chocolate, the world’s favourite confection, has become both a culinary ‘art form’ and something many people just cannot live without!

The Rumsey’s range caters for wholesale and retail customers and can be purchased direct from our Wendover and Thames shops and online.

“Bucks-based Nigel Rumsey was a chef patissier before he became a full-time Chocolatier, so was trained to understand flavours and combinations. His divinely decadent Orange Cointreau Truffles are made with the zest and juice of freshly squeezed oranges, real liqueur and top-quality couverture.”
