Charbonnel et Walker is one of Britain's most historic and prestigious chocolatiers. Founded in 1875 by Madame Charbonnel of Paris and Mrs. Walker of London, the brand was established with the encouragement of Edward VII, then the Prince of Wales. Known for its iconic Union Jack packaging and heart-shaped tins, the brand is a Royal Warrant holder, signifying its status as a supplier to the British Royal Household.

The chocolates are primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically at their facilities in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. This local production ensures the maintenance of traditional recipes and high-quality standards that have defined the brand for nearly 150 years. The Milk Sea Salt Caramel Truffles are one of their most popular items, combining fine milk chocolate with a decadent liquid caramel center and a hint of sea salt.

Ownership of the brand transitioned in the modern era to various investment groups. For several decades, it was owned by George and Liane Peck. More recently, the brand has been under the ownership of private investment vehicles, continuing to operate as a luxury British heritage brand while expanding its international presence in high-end department stores.
