Today, the 7th of July, is World Chocolate Day, and as a result, we would like to make you aware of one of our sister organizations, Rautini, a company set up to help farmers in the Asia-Pacific bring high-quality products to New Zealand. Rautini works closely with cacao farmers who supply artisan bean-to-bar chocolate makers here in New Zealand.
Celebrate World Chocolate Day by purchasing some of the amazing chocolates made from cacao grown right in our local backyard – the wonderful Pacific. Available from any of the bean-to-bar Kiwi companies below. These companies do such great work promoting top quality Pacific cacao and making world-class chocolate, and just quietly, we think New Zealand produces the best chocolate in the world.
Join us at Biosecurity and Training South by purchasing some of that delicious chocolate from any of the following companies and celebrate World Chocolate Day!
