Inside Our Dark Chocolate
Locally Produced
From the harvest and sorting, through roasting and winnowing, to grinding and pouring - every bar of our chocolate takes almost a week to make and it’s all done in our factory in Cremorne. We start with small samples and explore the characteristics of each batch before developing a new variety of chocolate.
Minimal Ingredients
Established in 2012, Hunted+Gathered is built on the belief that simplicity is best.. Operating from our Cremorne headquarters, we meticulously craft organic chocolate from bean to bar. Each chocolate bar stands as a testament to our commitment to simplicity, featuring no more than five ingredients, with most varieties showcasing just three. This minimalist approach ensures the intrinsic flavors and characteristics of the cacao bean are the stars of the show.
Ethically Sourced
As dedicated Melbourne chocolate makers, our journey is one of exploration into the very essence of the cacao bean. It begins with small, carefully selected samples, through which we explore and identify each batch's unique characteristics. This meticulous process of development allows us to introduce new varieties of chocolate that are not only innovative but deeply reflective of our passion for quality and detail.
Rooted in Simplicity
Hunted+Gathered is built on a singular mission: to explore the depth and nuance of cacao, crafting chocolate that’s honest, pure, and unique. Our dedication to the craft and focus on the details drive everything we do, ensuring that every bar reflects our values of simplicity and quality.
Naturally Refined
Every Hunted+Gathered bar highlights the natural taste of the cacao bean. Our philosophy is simple: let the ingredients shine. Every detail, from the rich cacao flavours to the minimal design, speaks to our belief in honest craftsmanship.
