Beautifully tart plum pieces with roasted almond smothered in dark (50%) bittersweet chocolate. New Zealand’s favorite chocolate since 1896. Creamy, silky, smooth premium artisan chocolate from New Zealand. When it comes to chocolate, it’s all about the milk. New Zealand is world famous for many things: its pristine environment, idyllic lifestyle, sailing prowess, fine wines, sensational rugby, and the best seafood. For most of us New Zealanders, the unequaled dairy products, especially the milk and butter, are a taste of home. Combine that rich, creamy milk with the world’s premier cocoa produced in Ghana and you have our (us Kiwis’) favorite chocolate. Whittaker’s uses Ghanaian cocoa, batch roasted in Porirua, New Zealand, and then turned into the very best premium chocolate bars. That’s what makes Whittaker’s chocolate such a creamy, irresistible treat for the chocolate connoisseur. Kiwi is a nickname for New Zealanders, and it’s also the name of the national icon, the kiwi, a flightless, nocturnal bird. To many, a kiwifruit is known as a kiwi or a Chinese gooseberry. Widely grown in New Zealand and exported worldwide, kiwifruit are one of those delicious fruits that contain all the goodness of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So, anyway, the point of this little story is, don’t get us confused! Since 1896, New Zealand’s favorite brand of chocolate has been Whittaker’s. It has been voted New Zealand’s most loved brand and most trusted brand for 8 and 10 consecutive years, respectively. That’s why for those who visit New Zealand and all of us Kiwis abroad, there are few things that remind us of home so sweetly as Whittaker’s chocolate. Net wt.
