Friis-Holm, known for its dedication to fine chocolate craftsmanship, has teamed up with its neighbor, Herslev Brewery, to create something truly special. When Herslev crafted a beer using Friis-Holm’s chocolate, it sparked the inspiration for a unique collection of chocolates, each infused with the essence of Herslev's products.

These chocolates are not made with beer, but they take their flavor cues from four of Herslev’s standout brews. Perfect for pairing with a cold beer, these artisanal chocolates promise a unique tasting experience.

  • Purple: A decadent malt caramel enrobed in dark chocolate, inspired by Herslev’s malty creations.
  • Blue: A star anise caramel, drawing from the rich complexity of Herslev's Stjernebryg beer.
  • Red: A crunchy chestnut blend, taking inspiration from Kastanje Brown Ale.
  • Gold: A ginger ganache, echoing the bright, spicy flavors of Herslev’s Ingefærbrus (ginger soda).

This collection is a tribute to both Friis-Holm’s chocolate expertise and Herslev’s brewing artistry. It’s the perfect indulgence for those who appreciate the pairing of handcrafted chocolates with a fine brew.

We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.

How We Protect Chocolate in Transit

Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.

25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging

30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack

35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs

Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve

We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.

Estimated Delivery Times

Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.

Customs and Duties

Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.

If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.

Orders With Pre-Order Items

An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.

If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.

Damage, Melting and Delays

We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.

If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.

Delivery to Specific Countries

For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Friis-Holm Chocolate was established by Mikkel Friis-Holm, a Danish chef driven by the ambition to rank among the top three chocolate makers globally. His mission is clear: to create chocolate that is both the best in the world and the best for the world.

How It All Began

Mikkel's fascination with chocolate sparked in the late 90s while he was working in San Francisco. During this time, he encountered the fledgling Scharffen Berger Chocolate, which ignited his passion for the craft.

In 2007, Mikkel's journey took a significant turn through his collaboration with Scharffen Berger Chocolate, leading him to a major cacao project in Nicaragua. This initiative, supported by Danida—a Danish government-sponsored development organization—aimed to enhance farmers' income by cultivating high-quality cacao. Mikkel formed a close partnership with the local farmers involved in the project, and to this day, cacao beans from these Nicaraguan farmers remain a cornerstone of Friis-Holm Chocolate.

Establishing a Danish Chocolate Factory

From 2007 to 2013, Mikkel dedicated himself to building knowledge and mastering the craft of chocolate making. Initially, the chocolate was produced in collaboration with Bonnat Chocolatier, an esteemed French chocolate factory in the Rhone region. However, Mikkel aspired to oversee the entire production process himself—from cacao bean to finished chocolate.

In 2014, with the support of small investors and the Danish Structural Bank "Vækstfonden," Friis-Holm Chocolate A/S was founded. The first batch of Danish-produced chocolate was created in 2015, and since then, all production has taken place at their factory in Denmark.

In 2023, the family behind Hansen Is (Hansen Ice Cream) joined Mikkel in ownership of the company. Despite these changes, the foundation of their work remains rooted in Mikkel's enduring motto:

"Best in the world, best for the world."

Dark chocolate (cacao beans, organic cane sugar, organic cacao butter), milk chocolate (cacao beans, organic cane sugar, organic cacao butter, milk powder), white chocolate (organic cacao butter, organic cane sugar, organic milk powder), organic cream, glucose, chest nuts, malt sirup, ginger, vinegar, salt, star anis, alcohol, sodium benzonat, puff sugar (sugar, glucose, carbondioxid, lactose).

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odours. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
