    Frequently asked questions

    Is Hunted+Gathered certified organic?

    Yes.

    Why is Hunted+Gathered different from other chocolate?

    There aren't many people making chocolate from start to finish anymore and this is something we specialise in. From sourcing fine flavoured cacao beans from around the world, to roasting, grinding, and conching in house. Being in control of all processes ensures we can focus on quality and know what has gone into the chocolate and how it has been treated along the way. As we are sourcing such full flavoured and high quality cacao beans, we process them with care and at low temperatures as to not lose the pure characteristics of the beans.

    What is the shelf life?

    12 months from manufacture date.

    What Gold medals have been awarded?

    Belize, Dominican Republic, Peru, Ecuador, Madagascar and 85% in the Australian Fine Food Awards.

    Traceability

    Traceability is extremely important to Hunted+Gathered, we receive detailed transparency reports from each cacao supplier to track their ethical and sustainable journey.

    Are your products vegan?
