Here’s a throw back to when I was still in Tauranga and had the pleasure of meeting two lovely chaps in the New Zealand craft chocolate scene. From left @mike_renfree_ of @raglanchocolate who has recently launched a truly remarkable Peruvian origin bar. And the lovely Glenn of @solomons_goldnz , who works with his daughter to hand craft batches of chocolate with the finest Solomon Islands cocoa Beans, and low sugar. Their dark nib bar is delicious, and unusual with some slightly smokey undertones, and the nibs giving a lovely crunch! So good they even won a Bronze at the @acadofchocolate last year!! 👏👌🍫
Take that to mean we liked it, @scopa_cucina ! 👌 What a perfect day for a Chocolate Adventure around Welly! A wonderful group discovering some truly amazing chocolate brands, award winning hot chocolates and some interesting, hidden gems around Wellington! 🍫 What did you do with your Saturday? ✨ #hotchocolateplease #wellingtonhotchocolate #gogirlguides @gogirlguides you would love this!!
