Nick was part of the Great British coffee boom of the '90s working in one of the first independent coffee roasters in the North of England. He combined being a barista and a student. After graduating from Leeds University he taught English in Spain, falling in love with the culture and the Spanish attitude towards food.
He returned to the UK and became a journalist and foreign Correspondent with the BBC. His final posting was in Jamaica, the country his parents had left over 40 years before. The food was his entry point into an island he thought he knew, but which surprised him on a daily basis.
Kingston is now his home. He decided to start making his own chocolate after developing a life threatening food allergy. “Sulphites are in almost everything and are seen as key to modern food production, but I like to keep things clean and as natural as possible. It not only keeps me alive, but it tastes fantastic too". One One Cacao operates out of a waterside chocolate lab on Jamaica's north coast.
