Best Enjoyed
With your mum and her mum while sitting side by side after dinner on that squeaky swinging chair on the verandah that pop promised to repaint as the sun drifts down to a softly slumbered rest for another night while the breeze dips and the birds do one last lap around the sky to take in some slivers of the days fading light..
In your car at the airport while waiting for your sisters flight to land. Sharing isn’t always caring.
At 9pm with your dad; while everyone else is busy wrapping presents.
Doc.Choc’s (Long Winded) Thoughts
We don’t see a lot of round chocolate boxes. The chocolate box has been around (subtle huh) for about a hundred years. A Belgian couple designed the ballotin - which is what we mostly reference today in a small rectangle that holds small chocolates upright.
Prior to that it was the British doing ornate tins wrapped in silk or finished with fine embossing for the royals to share. We still see a lot of that tin work carried through in biscuit packaging. (I once wrapped Easter eggs in felt, but more on that another time..)
If you couldn’t tell already, packaging really interests me. I design and develop all of Kenyak’s packaging, and for a very long time I’ve held a dream of doing a round chocolate box. Something that has been a little tricky to realise.
Round things are not very economical; they’re laborious. They show up imperfections really easily. But when they’re done right, they’re very right, and I love that. It’s why I choose to work in dome chocolate moulds. And I’m besotted to be able to now put those domes into a round box.
This one has been designed to share between 3 to 5 people.
A little more then a one on one gathering, and a little less than the whole fam. It’s embossed with an artwork I had commissioned for my first business, because I love it just as much as I did when I was 20, and because it’s a good reminder of a great number of things. It’s pressed into the lid in black foil - which I adore. It only just catches the light, a subtle detail, and I really like that it’s become a hallmark of Kenyak. That idea is mirrored in the framing of that artwork in the shaping of the K from our logo.
And it’s finished off with a thin gold line around the lip. Referencing back to the history of these boxes. This design is revision number twenty seven. It took three years to finalise. And it involves forty-six hand folded and glued seams to wrap the paper around the side of the box. Much love and apologies to my packaging partner and their tremendous workforce.
Things to Know
There is a lot of love (alcohol) in these chocolates. Snack responsibly, we pour generously.
This run of flavours is strictly limited edition thanks to the generosity and abundance of support from Belgrove Distillery. They will not be repeated.
