Chocolate Dreams at the Noosa Chocolate Factory
Dark, milk or white? Who cares, there’s something for everyone! Jodie Cameron explores a wonderland choc-ful of local flavours worth sharing…
If happiness had an address, it’d be 21 Venture Drive, Noosaville – home of the Noosa Chocolate Factory.
It’s my personal Narnia for all things smooth, creamy and irresistibly cacao-fuelled; a dreamy destination worth celebrating all year-round. Walk in stressed, walk out glowing, carrying a warm hot choccy in one hand and a bag of choc-covered macadamias in the other. This is what I call a balanced diet – chocolate in both hands! I’ve travelled far, eaten widely and sampled more chocolate than I care to admit, but nothing compares to Noosa Chocolate Factory, where everyday is a reason to indulge.
Step through the doors and prepare to instantly melt, but don’t be fooled – it’s not just the aroma making you drool. The irresistible mix of warm cocoa, toasted nuts and local fruits certainly tickles the taste buds, but it’s the feeling that you’ve entered a world where the serious business of chocolate is treated with joyful devotion. No sugar-coating required.
From Christmas, birthdays, Easter, anniversaries, “just because” days, Valentine’s Day, and the occasional Tuesday-afternoon sugar slump, there’s something for every taste and occasion. Channel your inner Charlie Bucket and witness the magic for yourself, and discover the local artisans turning beans into dreams – tempering, pouring, spinning, dipping. A sweet choreography that looks deceptively effortless but is only made possible by a team passionate about their craft, and sharing that love with you!
For next-level gifting all year round, shop online or visit their retail store in Noosa’s industrial heartland. Grab a basket and start your cocolicious tour! Slabs and bags of brittles, choc-covered freeze-dried fruit delights; Rocky Road loaded with chewy clusters including jelly and marshmallow all made in-house – all at your fingertips
in every imaginable cocoa combination!
Looking to elevate your summer grazing platters, or shopping for a sensitive chocoholic? Noosa Chocolate Factory’s award-winning range covers all dietaries including vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free, with a cult following for good reason. Everything is made fresh in small batches, and come Christmastime, prepare to choc the halls because this is when Noosa Chocolate Factory take their craft to another level with limited-edition festive showstoppers.
Remember the giant Easter bunnies? This Christmas, enjoy giant chocolate snowmen (each one takes four hours to mold and hand-paint!), plus Christmas bark bursting with seasonal flavours,
and beautifully-wrapped hampers are perfect pleasures for teachers, clients, neighbours and that friend who says
‘no gifts’ but secretly loves surprises.
