Introduction to Australia

The cacao in your chocolate bar comes from White’s Cocoa, a pioneering farm in Cassowary, Queensland, where Derek White has dedicated himself to growing world-class cacao on Australian soil. Nestled in the tropical north, near the Daintree Rainforest, this region provides the perfect climate for cultivating fine-flavoured cacao with a distinctive Australian character.

Derek White’s passion for cacao goes beyond farming—his hands-on approach ensures that every step, from cultivation to fermentation and drying, is carefully managed to highlight the beans’ full flavour potential. His work is a testament to the growing recognition of Australia as an emerging cacao origin, producing beans that stand proudly on the global stage.

The White’s Cocoa beans in your bar offer a unique taste of Queensland’s lush tropics, with notes of dry fruit and caramel that reflect the richness of the land. With each bite, you’re experiencing not just exceptional chocolate, but the dedication of a farmer who is redefining Australian cacao.
