Wiltshire Chocolatier Lick the Spoon have won two prestigious gold awards at the 2008 Taste of the West awards announced on Monday 18th August. The awards are one of the most highly respected in the food and drink industry, highlighting successful and high quality businesses across food and drink production, hospitality and food retail.

The gold awards were given to Lick the Spoon’s fresh handmade chocolate collections, the 'One for Me One for You' collection, and the new 'Wonders of the West' Collection.
Husband and wife team Matthew and Diana Short are delighted and described their new Wonders of the West collection as "encapsulating everything we are passionate about, fresh chocolates without compromise…it's about being inspired by every ingredient we use and developing a recipe that sums up the essence of the place where that ingredient was born and the people that gave it life!'

The small family business has only been going for eighteen months but demand has been so high that they now plan to open a small artisan production unit in the Chippenham area later this year. "We have a real head of steam behind us now" explained Diana, "we now have the confidence to take the business to the next level and really go for it...we've been working throughout the Summer developing a new range of high quality products suitable for delicatessens which we plan to roll out in September as part of our expansion plans".

Their chocolates can be bought from their website or from select retail outlets, amongst them, The Food Gallery in Marlborough, whom they have been working with to fine tune the delicatessen range.

'We're very excited with the way the business is going', says Diana…, 'we’ll soon be looking for a chocolate apprentice'!
