The latest addition to the Stamp Collection® range of organic, wheat-free and dairy-free foods is a delicious chocolate Santa for Christmas.

Made with dairy-free chocolate, the Santa is ideal for the 5.5 million* people in the UK who have an intolerance to cow’s milk, like Terence Stamp.

The chocolate is sweetened with fructose, and is one of very few organic chocolate options for diabetics. We are told that it is also suitable for children within the Autistic spectrum.



The Stamp Collection range was set up by Terence Stamp and his friend Elizabeth Buxton in order to bring wheat-free and dairy-free products to the millions of people who, like himself, have intolerances to wheat and dairy products made from cow’s milk.

The Stamp Collection range now includes a wide variety of wheat-free and dairy-free products including basics such as wheat-free breads, pastas, flours, baking mixes and sandwiches, but the Santa was developed in response to specific requests from parents whose children wanted an organic, dairy-free treat which they could be sure was ‘safe’ to eat.

The Santa makes a delicious treat or gift for all chocolate lovers. Terence Stamp has rigorously tested the chocolate recipe and says, “This is the kind of homework I can really get my teeth into!”

To quote the editor of Chocolate Magazine, “The bean blend is great, the chocolate is very smooth, very yummy!”

good for him that he's doing something to help though. altruism or spotting a good opportunity for profit?

I've seen Stamp collection stuff in Sainsburys in previous years, I think it sells at about £5 but I might be wrong. They also do a chocolate bunny at easter time.

Hi all,

I went to Asda in Cardiff today and found out that Terence Stamp is producing mint chocolate bar, orange chocolate bar and a plain chocolate bar for Christmas.

Hope this is helpful.

Kind Regards,


Lan. :D

Well to Sainsbury's I did go...but not a single item from the Stamp collection! Tons of stuff if I was interested in Atkins, but their dairy free et al selection has shrunk dramatically since I last ventured to that store. So I am chocolate santa-less :(

When I have seen Stamp Collection in Sainsbury's it has been on the normal chocolate shelf but I think Tesco put it with the free from stuff. Sainsburys are pretty good at telling you if they stock something and showing you where it is, you could try asking at customer services.

The Atkins/Lo Carb stuff is really annoying, it seems to be taking over and there is far more effort put into that than the normal free from stuff. And the prices!!!!!!!!!! £1.30 for a packet of low carb rolos - how mad is that?

Pam,

I have to admit that this carb stuff is bugging me. I also feel that they have more space in the supermarkets than us..

Kind Regards,


Lan :D

I obviously go round my local Tesco with blinkers on as I have not seen any Atkins low carb stuff anywhere. I do haunt the organic and free from shelves and have not seen any Stamp chocolate. I am forced to eat Green and Blacks chocolate and Tesco after dinner mints, which is soooo hard :)

I could be *forced* to eat Green and Blacks chocolate any day, what a chore! I don't think Tesco is too bad for the low carb stuff, Sainsburys have let it take over their free from aisle and Morrisons seem to have a greater variety of low carb products that dairy/gluten free ones, though having said that I didn't even notice any in my Morrisons last night - maybe I blanked it because I was used to seeing it there.

We wouldn't need free from aisles nearly as much if manufacturers didn't just add milk to absolutely everything. It makes me so cross that you find it in the most unlikely places - is it really necessary in cooked meats? (boiled ham etc)

of course it's necessary!! milk overproduction so is dirt cheap then add it to everything as costs next to nothing and bulks things out with weight. you pay the price of ham/turkey per pound when 1/3 or so is water or milk. bacon's the best example of that, suddenly shrinks and the white foam appears in the frying pan!

unfortunately they have us over abarrell, the only way to avoid such practices is to go to the better quality butchers so you pay the extra anyway. the only advantage being you get pure meat. but what can you do?

i wouldn't mind as much if they actually had an international set of guidelines for marking products. then checking ingredients would be not needed, just look for the large triangle or something. shopping becomes damn quicker and easier in one hit. never happen, we're all cranks who imagine we've got problems or manchausens syndrome by proxy on our kids!! buggerem all just get some goodies in, it's less than a week to go. time to crank up the excitment and enjoy ourselves. and FORCE ourselves to eat the extra treats like green and black chocs!!

:lol2: :D :drool: :bleh:
