Cllr Susan Rasmussen, Mayor of Leamington, said: “The presence of a real chocolatier in Regent Street is a cause for excitement as well as local pride, and on the day that bars and pubs are re-opening many will see the re-launch of Cenu as a cause for double celebration.
"It's fascinating to see the process that turns cacao beans into products of an international standard, from delicate morsels to tempting drinks.
"Cenu is one of the individual businesses and retail outlets that make Leamington town centre the special place it is, and I'm sure others will join me in wishing Rosemary and her team the very best of luck in their new premises.”

Rosemary said: “Our organic cacao beans come from Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia and we stone grind them on site.
"We then create the chocolate expertly made up from scratch using Aztec methods and Cenu Cacao is the first and only shop of its kind in the West Midlands.
"Our beloved cacao beans are created into irresistible pralines and truffles for you to enjoy. Our hot and Ice drinking chocolates are out of this world."
