The Chocolate Garden of Ireland has its origins in waffle-making.

The business began in 2001 in Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow, and we sold our waffles under the Wicklow Fine Foods brand. Soon after, it diversified into chocolate spreads and handmade chocolates for the speciality food market.

The Chocolate Garden of Ireland brand was ‘born’ in 2005 as, by then, we were making more chocolate products than biscuits. The brand reflects our location in Co. Wicklow, the “Garden County” of Ireland. In 2009, we moved from our premises in Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow to our new premises at Rath, Tullow, County Carlow (however, we’re still in Co. Wicklow on the map!).
