Whittaker’s Chocolate's latest release, Dark Ghana, is a 72 per cent cocoa creation, made with ethically, fairly, and sustainably produced, sun-dried, hand-picked cocoa beans.

The beans are also Rainforest Alliance certified and the bar contains no palm oil.

Enjoyed on its own or as a baking ingredient, Whittaker’s Dark Ghana is raising the bar for dark chocolate connoisseurs in Australia who will taste the difference.

Whittaker’s CEO Matt Whittaker says the new bar will be a welcome household staple.

“Whittaker’s produce good, honest, chocolate that is adored by chocolate lovers around Australia; from our family to yours, we know the Dark Ghana will be a welcome staple for Australians who enjoy and appreciate premium dark chocolate,” said Whittaker.

Known for their gold packaged blocks and slabs, Whittaker’s have been crafting chocolate since 1896 and remain a family owned and operated business today.

Dark Ghana is available to purchase for RRP$6.50 from the confectionery aisles of Coles, Woolworths and selected independent retailers now.
