What a year it has been… and we’re only in February! Alongside completely redesigning our brand, bringing out new eco packaging and new products (we’ve been a bit bored to be honest), we’ve only gone and opened a brand-new store in the beautiful city of Norwich!

We can’t believe that’s another charity week over! It’s one of our favourite weeks of the year and we’re sad that it’s already come to a close.

  We did it! We did it! On Saturday 12th May, 22 of Team Monty’s headed to Brighton Racecourse to take part in the Colour Obstacle Rush! Naturally, it was the only rainy day in about two weeks, but we didn’t let the weather dampen our spirits! Half of the team hopped in to the Monty’s party bus (appropriately named by Helen),

At Montezuma’s we are passionate about chocolate. Now that probably goes without saying but we also have many other passions and one of these is promoting a healthy lifestyle. It may seem odd for a business that produces a luxury food but actually that’s exactly the point. When you are involved in the food industry you learn a lot about the

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” Hmmm? At Montezuma’s Spitalfields store that quote might not be the most accurate, but I would definitely call it the busiest and most fun time of our chocolate year. We start talking about Christmas in August, which always feels super early when the sun is still shining, until we compile our
