A New Era of Chocolate for Chefs

Weave Cacao is the first truly Pacific couverture chocolate brand, created for chefs who value quality, sustainability, and ethical sourcing. Their 58% and 70% couverture chocolate drops are crafted from organically grown cacao beans sourced directly from farming villages across the Pacific, starting with Papua New Guinea.

These chocolate drops are ideal for:

  • Pastry chefs and chocolatiers
  • Commercial kitchens and catering teams
  • Artisan dessert makers and boutique bakeries

Why Choose Weave Cacao?

  • Bean-to-Drop Craftsmanship: From whole cacao beans to finished chocolate drops, every step is guided by traditional techniques and a commitment to excellence.
  • Ethical & Transparent Sourcing: Weave Cacao pays beyond fair trade prices and provides long-term support to small-scale cacao farmers—ensuring every drop supports a better future.
  • Locally Developed, Regionally Produced: Recipes are developed in New Zealand and produced in Port Moresby, PNG, with on-the-ground training and support for local communities.

“We believe in creating chocolate that is not only a treat for the senses but also honours our Pacific cacao farming brothers and sisters,” says co-founder Oonagh Browne.

Available for Food Professionals
