A chocolatier who started her own business during lockdown is raising the bar after getting her products stocked at a major retailer. 

Chloe Saterlay, 25, launched Lifetime of Chocolate in October 2020 after moving back to Norfolk from London.

She trained at City College Norwich and went on to work for William Curley in the capital, which supplies chocolate to Harrods.

Lifetime of Chocolate is based in a converted summer house in her garden in Burston, near Diss, and in 2022 it was named Norfolk's best food and drink producer at the Muddy Stilettos Awards. 

Fast forward to 2023 and she sends orders across the UK through her website, does many farmers' markets and supplies seven Norfolk retailers, including recently-added Norwich stockist Jarrold.

Miss Saterlay said: "I offer bars, bark, fudge and brownies and also make my own honeycomb - I temper the chocolate by eye instead of using a thermometer, which is a skill in itself.

"I am planning lots of specials, including for the King's coronation, and am branching out into weddings with grazing tables."
