The KitKat Chocolatory has introduced a limited edition release range of dark chocolate, crafted from some of the world's rarest cocoas sourced from three volcanic islands.

The KitKat Chocolatory Sublime Volcanic chocolate range is made from cocoa sourced out of Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines. It is said the cocoa is “so scarce that it accounts for less than 0.2 per cent of global production.”

Each variant in the range comes with its own flavour profile from the country the cocoa it is sourced, with Vanuatu being “robustly earthy and bitter,” Papua New Guinea as “fresh and fruity” and the Philippines with “intensely spicy and aromatic notes”.

“We’re delighted to introduce KitKat Chocolatory Sublime Volcanic as an exquisite new offering for our chocolate-loving guests,” said KitKat Chocolatory head chocolatier Connie Yuen.

“We are also thrilled to be launching nationwide online delivery for the first time ever, allowing everyone across Australia to get their hands on the delicious new range.”

The new KitKat Chocolatory Sublime Volcanic range is available exclusively to purchase from the KitKat Chocolatory boutique in Melbourne and online via www.kitkat.com.au.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
