Supplier Spotlight: Skelligs Chocolate – A Taste of the Wild Atlantic Way

We all know that Irish chocolate is in a league of its own. When it comes to creating the ultimate "unboxing" experience, a luxury treat is essential. That is why Skelligs Chocolate is a cornerstone of our hampers at The Book Resort. There is nothing quite like the ritual of opening a brand-new book while indulging in handmade chocolate crafted on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Story of Skelligs Chocolate Ireland

Located in one of the most beautiful and remote settings in the world, the Skelligs Chocolate factory overlooks the iconic Skellig Islands in County Kerry. Nominated by Fáilte Ireland as one of the "50 Secret Destinations of the Wild Atlantic Way," this family-run business has become a rare gem in the Irish culinary landscape.

Despite facing adversity over the years, including a factory fire in 2010, the brand has flourished. Today, their state-of-the-art production facility in Ballinskelligs continues to produce award-winning chocolate using traditional techniques and the finest Irish ingredients. When you find a box of Skelligs in your Book Resort hamper, you are tasting decades of passion and resilience.
