The award-winning chocolatier was founded by Richard Phillips and Julie Wishart – two sweet-toothed chemists who gave up their corporate jobs to embark on a career crafting the finest chocolates. Located on the Ground Floor of Westgate Oxford, Coco Chemistry offers chocolate slabs, filled caramel & praline truffles, chocolate salamis, caramel sauce jars, and hot chocolate spoons, as well as tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

Founder Richard said: “We make each and every batch of chocolates by hand from our kitchen in rural Wiltshire. Less than 24 hours after chef James has made a fresh batch of caramel, it will be on the shelves ready for customers to enjoy. “We like to think we offer something different that you can’t find anywhere on the high street. You’ll find the freshest and most daring flavours in our chocolate counters, using real fruit purees and fresh dairy for the most intense flavours.” He added: “Our chocolate is covered by the Cocoa Horizons Foundation – an independent, non-profit organization that focuses on cocoa farmer prosperity, building self-sustaining farming communities that protect nature and children.” Brendan Hattam, General Manager at Westgate Oxford, said: “Coco Chemistry is an exciting new addition to our line-up here at Westgate Oxford. We’re keen to give smaller, independent businesses with expert knowledge and top quality products the chance to thrive on the high street alongside big-name brands, offering shoppers more variety.” For more information, visit www.westgateoxford.co.uk, www.cocochemistry.co.uk or follow @cocochemistry on Instagram.
