Whittaker's Hazelnut Block Chocolate

Whittaker's is a prestigious New Zealand confectionery brand founded by James Henry Whittaker in 1896. For over a century, the company has maintained its reputation for high-quality chocolate, consistently being voted as one of New Zealand's most trusted brands. The Hazelnut Block featured in the image is a popular SKU within their range, identified by their signature gold packaging and 33% cocoa content.

All Whittaker's chocolate is manufactured in their single factory located in Porirua, New Zealand. This 'bean-to-bar' approach allows the company to maintain strict quality control over every stage of production, from roasting the cocoa beans to the final packaging. Unlike many global chocolate brands, Whittaker's remains a family-owned business, currently managed by the third and fourth generations of the Whittaker family. There are no plans to move production offshore, ensuring that the brand remains a staple of New Zealand manufacturing.
