Bahen & Co - Christmas

Bahen & Co. have raised the bar for chocolatiers and chocolate aficionados here in Australia… pun intended.

Jacqui and Josh Bahen traded in their former lives as vignerons to focus on producing some of Australia's most traditional and ethically made chocolate. Working directly with cacao farmers in Madagascar, Papua New Guinea and Brazil, they are committed to sourcing quality beans and ensuring the people behind them are fairly compensated for their craft.

Based in Margaret River, Western Australia, Bahen & Co. embrace an old-world approach to chocolate making. They use naturally slow-fermented cacao to bring out the full flavour of the beans, then work with beautifully restored vintage equipment, including a 1930s Barth Sirocco Ball Roaster and a circa 1910 Guitard Melangeur. It's a thoughtful, traditional process that lets the chocolate speak for itself.

For Christmas, we have two lovely seasonal flavours:

• Gingerbread & Spice Organic Milk Chocolate – creamy organic milk chocolate with warming gingerbread spices. A festive little treat that pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee.

• Cherry Cinnamon Tarte 75% Cacao – rich dark chocolate with fruity cherry and warming cinnamon notes. Lovely alongside an after-dinner coffee or as a little something on a Christmas grazing platter.

Beautifully made Australian chocolate, perfect for gifting, adding to a Brisbane Christmas hamper or keeping tucked away for a well-deserved moment of indulgence.
