Michelle Morgan, a chocolatier who works at the base of the Blue Mountains, produces some of Australia's best chocolate. Dean and Michelle Morgan launched Zokoko in 2006.

Zokoko chocolate has a rich and deep flavor profile that is immensely gratifying. To ensure that our chocolate remains distinctive, it obtains the finest cacao beans from throughout the world and uses traditional artisan methods.

Growers gain from the premium that the beans attract as a result.

The specific bean-to-bar procedure at Zokoko was created to highlight the uniqueness of each bar. Their objective is to provide you with handmade chocolate that recalls 'a special moment of deliciousness in your day'.
