Australia’s journey into the world of cocoa production is a relatively new venture, but one that holds great promise. Unlike the established cocoa industries of West Africa and South America, Australia’s cocoa sector is still in its infancy. However, it’s rapidly gaining recognition for its unique flavours and boutique appeal.
