Spreads Pack
A trio of chocolate and nut spreads. A great pack as a gift or just to enjoy your self. The spreads are made with our Dominican cacao and all organic ingredients.
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. See how the process unfolds below.
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.
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.
Hunted+Gathered have always been driven by a singular mission: to delve into the depths and nuances of the cacao bean, creating chocolate that’s as honest and pure as it is uniquely flavorful. Their dedication to the craft and the small details involved in chocolate making underscores everything we do, enabling us to produce products that we are not just proud of, but that are also emblematic of our core values of simplicity and quality.
Our philosophy ensures that every piece of Hunted+Gathered chocolate offers a distinct experience that celebrates the natural taste of the cacao bean. It’s a philosophy that guides Hunted+Gathered in creating chocolate that invites our customers to savour the pure, rich flavours of cacao, with each bar serving as a reminder of the beauty of minimalism.
