Awards
Australia’s Award-Winning Chocolate Maker
At Charley’s Chocolate, we’re proud to make chocolate that starts right here in Far North Queensland. From growing and harvesting our own cocoa at Mt Edna to crafting the finished chocolate in Mission Beach, we’re passionate about creating exceptional Australian-grown, single-origin chocolate.
Our dedication to quality has been recognised with prestigious awards in Australia and internationally – including the Australian Fine Food Awards, Sydney Royal Show and the international Cocoa of Excellence program.
Australia’s Award-Winning Chocolate Maker
In 2016, Charley’s was awarded the Overall Trophy for Best Chocolate Bar in Australia at the Australian Fine Food Awards. Our chocolates have also received Silver and Bronze medals at the Australian Fine Food Awards across 2016, 2017 and 2018, along with Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at the Sydney Royal Show in 2018.
These awards recognise the care, craftsmanship and quality that go into every Charley’s chocolate.
Australian Cocoa on the World Stage
Our Mt Edna cocoa has also received international recognition.
In 2017, Charley’s Mt Edna cocoa was selected by the prestigious Cocoa of Excellence program in Paris as one of the world’s 18 finest cocoa samples. The program brings together cocoa from producing countries around the world, with entries assessed through a rigorous judging and tasting process.
Charley’s Chocolate was recognised again by Cocoa of Excellence in 2019, putting Australian-grown cocoa firmly on the international chocolate map.
What makes our chocolate award-worthy?
Awards are one way to measure chocolate quality, but for us, it starts much earlier – with the cocoa.
