| Our uncompromising commitment
to the traditional art of fine chocolate making has been recognised over
many years with a string of Championship Awards at the Royal Sydney, Melbourne
and Adelaide shows. Our company was founded in Adelaide, South Australia by Alfred E Haigh and has been successfully run by his son Claude, grandson John, the present chairman, and great-grandsons Alister and Simon, who are joint managing directors. John Haigh introduced the traditions of European fine chocolate-making after studying at Lindt and Sprungli in Switzerland in the 1950s. Today, we continue to manufacture in our Adelaide factory, which has recently been expanded and upgraded. |
At Haigh’s we pride ourselves on being one of the very few manufacturing retailers in the world still making chocolate from the raw cocoa bean. Roasting our cocoa beans allows us to develop our own unique blends of premium chocolate with distinct aroma, texture and flavour. More than half of our chocolates are still handmade using artisan skills that require many years of experience to perfect. Providing our customers with chocolates of the very best in quality, freshness and taste also involves retailing only in company owned stores. Having our own retail stores gives us complete control over how the chocolates are stored and presented. We can also make sure that the customer always receives the very best service. |
