Project Local: Weave Cacao

Big news for all the brownie lovers out there—our brownies are about to reach legendary status, and it’s all thanks to our new partnership with Weave Cacao! We’ve teamed up with these ethical chocolate legends because, well, their chocolate is out of this world, and they’re as passionate about sustainability as we are. 

Weave Cacao isn’t just about delicious chocolate (though that’s definitely a plus), they’re all about supporting farmers on the ground and building real, lasting connections. When you bite into one of our brownies, you’re not just getting a chocolate fix—you’re supporting a whole community of cacao growers from Papua New Guinea to the Solomon Islands. Cool, right?

Why Weave? Why Now?

Honestly, once we tasted their couverture drops, we couldn’t not switch! They’re rich, smooth, and bring an extra layer of depth to our brownies. But it wasn’t just the flavour that won us over. Weave’s whole ethos of working directly with farmers, ensuring fair pay, and caring for the environment really spoke to us. Plus, with the closure of TradeAid’s factory in Christchurch, Weave is stepping in to make sure New Zealanders still have access to seriously good, ethical chocolate.

What’s Next for Weave (and Our Brownies!)

Our collaboration with Weave is just the beginning. They’ve got a ton of exciting things happening—like their brand-new 190g retail packs (perfect for your at-home chocolate cravings), and they’re also getting ready to launch chocolate batons that pastry chefs are already buzzing about.

If you're in Auckland, you’ll even have the chance to meet them at the Chocolate & Coffee Festival this weekend! They’ll be sharing their incredible chocolate and spreading the love. Oh, and did we mention they’re gearing up for production trips to PNG and the Solomon Islands? We love that they’re always connecting with farmers and building their cacao-growing community. 

Come and Taste the Difference

So, what are you waiting for? Our brownies featuring Weave Cacao’s chocolate are available now, and trust us—they’re next level. Whether you’re grabbing one for a snack or bringing them to a party (good luck getting them to share), you’ll taste the difference with every bite.

Pop into one of our stores to try them, and feel good knowing that your treat is as ethical as it is delicious!
