Artisan chocolatier Koko Black has released its new Australian Native Collection, collaborating with indigenous food company Something Wild to celebrate local native ingredients in the range.
Remco Brigou, head chocolatier and product innovation manager at Koko Black, said the team believe such ingredients should be explored, experience and respected.
“Australia’s rugged landscapes and vast plains produce some of the rarest and most delicate ingredients on the planet, flavours only nature could have invented," said Brigou.
“The new Australian Native Collection offers just a small sample of what this incredible country has to offer in terms of unique flavours and textures. We hope our new collection inspires others to explore and appreciate what is right here on their doorstep.”
