Cleeve’s Irish Confectionery have expanded a classic range of delicious Easter eggs this spring with two exciting new additions. There’s something for every chocolate lover.
The collection includes four variants: the Classic Irish Milk Chocolate Easter Egg, the Iced Caramels Easter Egg, the revamped Macaroon Easter Egg, and the brand new Popping Candy Easter Egg. The two new eggs now boast a minimum of 30% cocoa solids, ensuring an enhanced chocolate tasting experience.
Made using quality Irish dairy products, sourced locally, all four Easter eggs are foil-wrapped and presented in striking vintage-inspired packaging that can be recycled. Each carton also gives the consumer some background information on the fascinating history and heritage behind the Cleeve’s brand.
Cleeve’s is Ireland’s longest surviving confectionery brand and has a history as rich as their chocolate. Established in 1882, the Cleeve's factory in Limerick had become the largest milk processing factory in Ireland by 1902 using the milk of over 10,000 cows. Back then, their focus was on cream and skim milk processing. However, the founder Sir Thomas Henry Cleeve's saw the value in diversifying and went on to manufacture butter, condensed milk and the brand’s beloved toffee and chocolate products.
Today, it is fitting to honour the memory of the Cleeve’s founder Sir Thomas Henry Cleeve by once again incorporating Irish milk into the Cleeve’s Easter Egg selection.
Classic Irish Milk Chocolate Easter Egg (RRP €6) is a mouth-watering milk chocolate egg made from the finest Irish dairy ingredients accompanied with the inclusion of luscious Cleeve’s Chocolate Caramels.
