Australian Chocolate Box

It is time for you try Australian Craft chocolate! Bean to bar chocolate is made by real chocolate makers – from the “bean to the bar”.  At Bean Bar You our mission is to introduce as many chocolate lovers to craft chocolate as possible – so we are excited to introduce you to our Australian Craft Chocolate box.  

For the cost of the bars you will receive three bars of Australian chocolate – For our first edition, we’ve selected three chocolate makers who make bars from a single origin. Jasper + Myrtle (Canberra, ACT) make chocolate with beans they source from Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea. Spencer’s Chocolate (Mudgee, NSW) make chocolate with beans they source from Vanuatu. To round out the trio, Charley’s Chocolate make chocolate made with Australian grown cacao (yep, that’s right, that is 100% Australia chocolate)!  These three bars will introduce you to the variation you can expect in cacao. If you enjoy that, you will love exploring the flavours in cacao from Madagascar, India, Peru, Belize even Hawaii.

We get these bars delivered to your door via express-post cheaper than you could ordering them yourself. If you discover something you like, please consider ordering direct from the chocolate maker, it takes one step out of the whole process and that is what makes bean to bar chocolate special – these chocolate makers work directly with farmers (except Charley’s who grow their own cacao) which means you’re one step from the raw ingredients.

WARNING: If you’ve never tried “bean to bar” chocolate before you need to know that normal chocolate will never taste the same again.  We often hear “I can’t eat common chocolate anymore” (e.g. Miranda, April 2021) – we believe that is a good thing. Chocolate should be special, not something made in tonnes/day by one of 4 huge European companies then re-melted into “handmade” chocolate bars. Bars of craft chocolate are made in batches of 50-200kg, each 50kg bag of beans is slightly different (due to tree genetics, micro-climates and the fermentation process) – the chocolate maker will sample batch of beans before, during and after a roast to make sure they are extracting their desired flavours from each sample. As well as the care and control from the chocolate maker, the the cacao you’ll find in these bars is often grown by one or a few farmers in a cooperative. The trees are pruned and maintained with utmost care, the post-harvest (fermentation and drying) are key to ensuring the flavours in the beans fully develop and aren’t compromised. These farmers are paid way above “market rate” for cacao – they’re committed to ensuring they supply great beans and chocolate makers get a superior product. In contrast, industrial chocolate is all about cost per kilo so corners are cut and it tastes like it does.

You can choose between: 3 dark bars, 2 dark bars + 1 milk, 1 dark bar + 2 milks, 3 milks.  Because this is our low-cost offering, there aren’t want cards in the box – the bars are pre-packed so you can’t choose which milk/dark bar you’d like from each maker – If you’d like to do that visit your extensive single-bar collection to create your customised chocolate collection.
