Australian chocolate

Australian Homemade is a brand known for its premium chocolates and ice cream. Despite its name, the brand has its roots in the Netherlands rather than Australia. It was founded by Frederik van Essen, who was inspired by the traditional art and natural lifestyle of the Australian Aboriginal people, which is reflected in the brand's aesthetic and unique 'Macadamia' chocolate recipes.

While the branding evokes the spirit of the Australian outback, the actual manufacturing of the chocolates is primarily centered in Belgium, a country world-renowned for its chocolate-making heritage. The choice of Belgium ensures the use of high-quality cocoa butter and traditional European artisanal techniques. Today, the brand operates through a network of boutique shops and retail distributions across Europe and Asia, maintaining its positioning as a luxury confectionery provider under Dutch ownership.
