Beacon Hill Chocolates
About
Beacon Hill Chocolates is less a chocolate factory than a chocolate curator. Owner and chocolatier Paula Barth travels to source what she sells, and the shop specializes in small-batch, handcrafted chocolates from Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Brazil and the United States. It has been on Charles Street since 2006, and its truffle case holds more than 100 kinds, with flavors that run from lavender, yuzu and blood orange to maple, chai and olive oil.
It suits anyone who needs a gift that travels, a sweet stop on a Beacon Hill walk, or a box to bring to a dinner host. The shop is at 91 Charles Street, and the nearest T station is Charles/MGH on the Red Line, at the Cambridge Street end of Charles Street.
Keepsake boxes
The shop’s handmade keepsake boxes are what set it apart, by its own account: collectible gift boxes decorated in the traditional craft of decoupage and filled with a selection of chocolates. They can be personalized with names, dates or phrases, and the shop makes custom versions for weddings, showers and corporate gifts, with a company logo if needed. Custom orders are priced by quote through the website.
Beyond the truffle case
The house Signature piece is a bite of 72% single-origin Venezuelan dark chocolate, and Caramel Sushi swirls caramel and marshmallow before dipping it in milk or dark chocolate. Shelves hold artisan chocolate bars, local and imported, including bean-to-bar makers, plus chocolate-covered fruit, nuts and caramels sold loose, and there are collections labeled vegan, sugar free and nut free. The shop also carries locally made Italian gelato and sorbetto, in flavors from salted caramel to mango.
Shipping home
The shop ships across the United States and quotes Canadian orders individually. In warm weather it adds ice packs and insulation and limits the days it ships, which is worth knowing if you plan to send chocolate home in July.
Recognition
Boston Magazine named Beacon Hill Chocolates its Best Chocolatier in 2009, 2010 and 2012.
