Beacon Hill Chocolates has a strong commitment to representing authentic chocolate-making techniques from New England and around the world by importing from a wide variety of chocolatiers. The shop carries a wide selection of boxed chocolate sets and truffles, including ingredients and flavors such as blood orange, almond nougat, vanilla French butter cream, and candied ginger. The shop is also known for its keepsake chocolate boxes, which are printed with classic photographs or special-occasion messages, and a customer can create a boxed chocolate set by mixing and matching from the large selection of chocolates.
Owner Robert Novack's wholesale operation in the Boston Wholesale Food Terminal Building, includes this small retail business. He buys nuts from growers all over the world and hand-roasts them on-site. The biggest jump in retail happens after September, when people start to think of sending gift baskets, chocolates and fancy mixed nuts as gifts. The entrance is a loading dock, but retail customers can call before they arrive and Novack will have orders ready and waiting for them. Organic nuts can be purchased by the case. The company will ship anywhere in the US.
The dipped strawberries at Godiva Chocolatier in the Shops at the Prudential Center are very popular and are made fresh every day. They're just one of many delectable treats in which chocolate-lovers can indulge. Try Godiva's signature truffles or caramel pecan brownies in the store or choose from a wide selection of boxed assortments to take home. Gift baskets and gift "towers" (stacked boxes of chocolates) are available for any occasion, including seasonal celebrations.
