Haigh's Today

At Haigh’s we’re very proud to be the oldest family-owned chocolate maker in Australia. Today the company is run by the fourth generation of the Haigh's family and we employ over 850 people throughout our factory, administration, online and 21 retail stores located across Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra.

 

Our Chocolate Making

Over the century that we have been in business some things have changed, yet many remain the same. Our traditions, quality and passion for chocolate making continue. We still use only the very best, freshest ingredients and pride ourselves on being chocolate 'bean to bar' specialists. We are committed to the art of premium chocolate making from cocoa beans sourced from plantations around the world. Roasting our own cocoa beans enables us to develop our own unique blends of premium milk and dark chocolate with distinct aroma, texture and flavour.

Our cooking processes are unique. Our factory teams use meticulous artisan skills combined with the latest in modern manufacturing, high levels of training, equipment and techniques to create chocolates that look and taste delicious. Many of our chocolates continue to be hand-made and finished.

Each year our team of confectioners work to create new recipes and perhaps fine-tune old favourites to ensure we continue to offer our customers a diverse selection of the most delectable chocolates. There is something for everyone with a choice of over 250 varieties from chocolate frogs to gift boxes of hand-dipped truffles.
