Terroir Artisan Chocolates

Artisan chocolate shop in Beverley, Yorkshire

Terroir Artisan Chocolates is a small independent artisan chocolate maker with its own shop in the centre of Beverley, Yorkshire. All of its production is handcrafted in small batches, with attention to ingredients and, according to its own presentation, with flavour as the priority. The company describes itself as a chocolatier's project rather than a mass-production factory.

Founder's background and journey

The founder and chocolatier is Mayara Zanote, who grew up in Brazil, where her mother handcrafted chocolate in a small workshop. Years later she studied Agronomy and explored cacao origins in Brazil and the Amazon, which led her back to chocolate with a deeper knowledge of the raw material and the industry. The business began with just five chocolate moulds and grew to the point of having its own shop in Beverley.

Products and collections

The range is organised into several lines:

• Gift boxes
• Snacks
• Filled chocolate bars
• Bean to bar chocolate bars
• Dark chocolate, dark milk chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate
• Almost Perfect and Zero Waste lines
• Truffles
• Signature Collection

Among the award-winning bonbons highlighted by the company are combinations such as passion fruit and coconut, praliné, Amazonian chai, brown butter and mango, passion fruit, bergamot and biscuit, banana, cinnamon and cashew, dark raspberry, mandarin, cream cheese and shortbread, tropical cashew, dulce de leche and kalamansi cheesecake. The shop also features bars such as pistachio gianduja and a Halloween limited edition called The Antidote, as well as boxes of 9 and 18 luxury bonbons and an advent calendar available to pre-order with delivery scheduled for the end of November.

According to the company's own information, in 2025 it received nine medals at the Academy of Chocolate Awards and became the most awarded chocolate maker of the year in the filled bonbons category.
