Partners Chris and Christine Thomasson are Horwich based artisan chocolatiers who formed Rivington Chocolates in November 2014.
Combining the best Callebaut sustainably produced chocolate with fresh tasty fillings using
local produce whenever possible.
They work from home, producing small batches to ensure our chocolates are always fresh, trying new
flavour combinations and always looking to build and improve our product.
They are excited to have
made their first batch of bean to bar chocolate; 70% Ghanian dark; vegan –
described as ‘Lush’ by a customer and it is hoped their second batch will live up to
this.
Rivington Chocolates can be found every
month at Bolton Artisan Market and other local events.
