The Sublime x Harth Hot Chocolate Butter is a new product created in partnership between the brands to provide consumers with an extra-tasty product that toes the line between different categories.
The product starts off with premium butter from Sublime Butter that's elevated with ingredients from craft chocolatier Harth Chocolate. The product thus features cream, salt, dark chocolate and a blend of warming spices to have it work well on a variety of foods. The product boasts a free-from recipe that has no additives or artificial ingredients in the mix.
Managing Director and Head Chef at Sublime Butter Tony Ho commented on the Sublime x Harth Hot Chocolate Butter saying, "Collaborations only work when values and standards align. Working with Harth allowed us to create something genuinely new for the category. The gift chocolate space is often crowded but predictable. No. 20 was designed to disrupt that by creating a product that crosses boundaries between butter, chocolate, beverage and gifting."
