The Art of the Craft
At the heart of CFX is a dedication to the artisanal panning and moulding techniques that define premium chocolate making. Visitors can step behind the scenes to witness the production process firsthand. Through large observation windows, you can watch expert chocolatiers transform raw ingredients into intricate treats, from tempering the chocolate to the final delicate packaging.

Production Viewing: See the machinery and craftsmanship involved in panning and moulding.

Generous Tastings: No tour is complete without samples. Visitors are encouraged to try fresh creations, including signature sponge toffee and infused chocolates.

For families, the factory provides a clean, welcoming, and educational environment where children can learn about food production in a fun, interactive way.
