We are on a small, but mighty mission to create a better-tasting world - right here from our home in Aotearoa New Zealand!

And we know that when local craftspeople come together, that’s where the magic really happens…

That’s why for our partnership with our good friend and Kiwi fashion ICON Karen Walker, we are using New Zealand-grown and roasted hazelnuts from Uncle Joe's in Marlborough!

Did you know that many of the hazelnut products you buy have travelled for miles from overseas?

Our WCF hazelnuts only had to make a little hop over the Cook Strait to reach Eva St ♥️

Have you tried them yet? https://wcf.co.nz/products/https-wcf-co-nz-collections-products-raspberry-rose-milk-chocolate-hazelnuts-150g

🤫 and calling all chocolate hazelnut fans, we might just have some more good news for you very soon…

If you have been with us for a while, you’ll know our relationship with Vanuatu is a special one 🇻🇺

Our Pacific Grower Partner Programme is dedicated to improving the livelihoods for cocoa farmers and their families across Vanuatu and the Pacific - these wonderful Pacific-grown beans are part of our small but mighty place in making a better tasting world!

During Vanuatu Prime Minister Salwai’s recent visit to New Zealand, we welcomed three new chocolate makers to our Chocolatier Experience - Mrs Justine Salwai, Mrs Patricia Mahe, and Mrs Amanda Luxon - getting hands-on with tempering, creating, and wrapping their own chocolate bars 🍫

And of course, learning about our growing commitment and connection to Vanuatu and the Pacific 🇻🇺 🍫

We’re really not just saying this, we were impressed with the flavour combinations (but the wrapping skills might still need a little bit of practice)!

Our Story

We don’t just make NZ’s highest quality, organic, ethically sourced and traded, award-winning, bean to bar chocolate (as if that isn’t enough). We dream of creating a better tasting world, for our suppliers and customers alike.

We source the finest, ethically traded cocoa in the world. We pay premium for our beans, ensuring the highest quality and providing a better standard of living for the cocoa farmers and their families. WCF was the first craft bean-to-bar factory to open its doors here in New Zealand, and we now produce the only certified organic chocolate made right here in Aotearoa.

The proof is quite literally in the pudding: our chocolate is multi-award winning, and was recently awarded gold at the 2018 World Finals of the International Chocolate Awards, making our Peru bar the best small-batch organic dark chocolate in the world!

WCF is constantly pushing the boundaries of chocolate innovation while creating and celebrating art in every step of what we do.
