Chokolit is a family run business based in rural Shropshire, established by 12 year old Louis Barnett.
“My products are a unique mix of my imagination, high quality Callebaut chocolate and a whole lot of passion.”
My company is about looking at chocolate in a different way to create innovative products with taste and sensations to stimulate your palate. I have specifically designed products for the larger retailers and the independents, making sure I have products to suit all needs and markets. I believe in optimum quality control, my ingredients are specifically sourced for taste but also with an environmental and ethical outlook and all my recipes have the Chokolit touch.
About Louis Barnett:
Louis Barnett's story isn't exactly a traditional one, more a case of over coming adversity, self belief, positivity and hard work.
After suffering from problems at school, Louis was diagnosed with Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. After this, he was taken out of mainstream education at 11 in order to be home educated to follow a more hands-on and vocational education, a decision from which he's now reaping the benefits.
One day, Louis came across a book on cakes and decorations, which ignited a previously dormant passion for cooking and baking. From cake decorating to making Belgian chocolate cakes, selling to family and friends. Louis then moved into the tempering side of making chocolate, which in turn led to him producing limited quantities of chocolates for his family and friends.
Demand grew, and with Christmas 2005 approaching, Louis found himself inundated. His chocolates now needed packaging and clearly, this was a situation that needed addressing, but Louis had an idea. A simple idea, but one that answered the problem beautifully.
