Hazelnut Gianduia

Combining 30% locally grown hazelnuts with cacao, Hogarth created a rich semi-sweet Gianduia bar.

Gianduia is a soft hazelnut chocolate, smooth and velvety due to the hazelnut oil lowering the melting temperature of the chocolate. The resulting experience is a silken mouth feel and lingering roasted hazelnut flavour.

The original Gianduia came from northern Italy. Legend tells us that cocoa supplies were limited during the Napoleonic Wars so a chocolate maker in the Piedmonte region added roasted hazelnuts to supplement the cocoa, and Gianduia was born.

Buttered Toast & Sea Salt

Hogarth has captured their morning ritual of slathering pure New Zealand butter over rye toast. That savoury, salty delicious morning get up and go… is now available in chocolate! Yum.

They use Vogels Original to flavour this bar, that’s right…there is actual bread in the chocolate! Combining Ecuador cocoa, butter and Vogels they have created a buttered toast flavoured milk chocolate bar.

Kumara (sweet potato) - Milk Chocolate

Like Cacao, Kumara originally came from South America, travelling west across the Pacific after being traded through the islands and landing in Aotearoa (New Zealand) with Maori.

In this chocolate Hogarth used Kumara crisps from their friends Ned and Mina at Proper Crisps. Proper make their crisps using seasonally selected varieties, mostly Red Kumara (Owairaka), Gold Kumara (Toka Toka) and Orange Kumara (Beauregard).

They have paired the Kumara with their Peruvian criollo cacao which highlights the caramelisation of the crisps, adding caramel and fruit notes to a deliciously smooth Kumara Milk Chocolate.
