NZ Chocolate Awards 2020
We submitted two bonbons from our current range into the New Zealand Chocolate Awards 2020.
On 31st March, winners were announced and we were so proud to receive a GOLD AWARD for our calamansi bonbon and a BRONZE AWARD for our layered coconut bonbon.
The judges commented on our calamansi bonbon:
"Very well presented artistic design. Aroma and flavour match perfectly and colour reflects the flavour. Well done on a great bonbon!"
We will continue to experiment with colours and flavours and strive to get more medals for our other chocolates!

Sande returned to the Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School, Australia (where both Paul and Sande trained) to visit with Kirsten Tibballs, the Director of the school and internationally recognised chocolatier and judge.
