Planet cocoa is a craft chocolate maker who transforms raw cocoa beans into chocolate, all from scratch. our chocolate range is free from dairy, soy and preservatives - from our chocolate blocks to your next mug of rich, dark drinking chocolate.

All of our chocolate blocks are shipped via Couriers Please or Australia Post.

Please allow up to 3 business days to make/pack your order and despatch.

How long does shipping take?

It’s best to head to Couriers Please or Australia Post for an estimated time window as each city is different or reach out to us for a current guide.

Our chocolate is made from scratch. This means we start with the cocoa bean and process it into the smooth chocolate that we know and love.

How is chocolate made?

There is a long process that we undergo to get to our final product and here’s a brief outline of this craft process.

1. Sorting and roasting the beans

2. Crushing the cocoa beans

3. Winnowing the huskaway from the cocoa nibs*

4. Stone grinding for up to 36 hours

5. Temper and mould the chocolate into blocks OR solidify and crush into drinking chocolate granules

*We save the husk waste for distilleries and other projects as we want to be low waste!

The beans that we currently source are from:

• Papua New Guinea

• Malatai, Solomon Islands

The cocoa industry has been running rampant to keep up with the high global demand for chocolate. In order to maintain the supply to meet our demand, it has made cost-cuts elsewhere; in this case at the expense of lives, communities, and the environment. It has caused child slavery, child labour, exploitation, deforestation, poisoning due to hazardous chemical use, to name a few.

But we don’t want to put a bad taste in your mouth… It’s not all bad news. Artisan chocolate crafters, like us, are passionate about sourcing cocoa from suppliers who can provide transparency into the trade and the impacts on their community.

Ethical and sustainable trade is paramount for our craft as without cocoa communities continuing their farming, fermenting and drying, there is no chocolate: no Planet Cocoa.

Planet Cocoa products are all made in Australia by a female founded team from locally and ethically sourced ingredients.

We research our ingredients and prefer to use locally Australian grown ingredients where possible.
