The Origins

of Chocolat Philippe

Chocolat Philippe began with a pause. In a hard season in Belgium, the simple act of tasting chocolate helped me slow down and notice small moments of joy, sparking a quiet reinvention. Today I source raw cacao beans and make chocolate with just cacao and sugar, roasting and stone grinding so the character of each place is clean and true. Australia is now home, where community, meditation and purpose shaped Chocolat Philippe, a small maker devoted to flavour, kindness and daily rituals. Read the full story on the About page.

Our Story

“I founded Chocolat Philippe to create a world where people deliberately take the time to mindfully ground themselves and look for happiness in the small things.”

Bean-to-Bar
Bean-to-Bar

Bean to bar means we make chocolate from raw cacao in small batches. We roast, stone grind and temper in Sydney with just two ingredients, cacao and sugar, so the character of each place comes through clean and true.

How we make chocolate
Sourcing and impact

We work with small farms and trusted partners, paying fair prices for quality cacao. Long term relationships help families plan for the future and support farming that protects soil and wildlife.

Our Chocolate
Our Chocolate

Every bar is single origin. The flavours you taste are the natural expression of that place. We craft the chocolate here in Australia and ship fresh. Most bars are just cacao and sugar. Some add a simple flavour like orange, lemon myrtle, chai or oat milk, because we like a little variety now and then.

Behind the (Chocolate) Bar

We focus on the experience

Chocolate is a pause, a small ritual that helps you slow down and notice. Our bars are crafted to be savoured, with flavour notes that open gently and a finish that lingers.

We care about our farmers

We buy quality cacao from small farms and co-ops. Paying fair prices and placing steady orders helps families plan ahead, invest in their land, and keep local knowledge alive. Good farming supports soil, shade trees and wildlife.

We use quality ingredients

We don’t add a single thing to our chocolate that doesn’t need to be there. We believe that our raw, premium ingredients should speak for themselves, honestly and deliciously.

We source
sustainable packaging

We only use sustainable materials for every element of our packaging to ensure that our ethics and values are reflected in each and every step of our product’s journey.
