Hogarth is a New Zealand bean-to-bar chocolate maker focused on producing single-origin bars through meticulous melanger refinement.
Based in New Zealand, Hogarth Chocolate operates as an artisan bean-to-bar maker. The company manages the entire production cycle within its own facility, focusing on small-batch manufacturing to maintain control over the transformation from raw cacao beans into finished bars.
The technical approach at Hogarth relies on the use of a melanger for the refining and conching process. This equipment grinds the nibs and sugar into a smooth, consistent texture. By carefully monitoring the refinement phase, the maker aims to highlight the inherent characteristics of the cocoa beans used in each batch.
Ethical procurement is central to their operations, as the company maintains direct trade practices. This model seeks to create transparent relationships with cacao farmers, ensuring the sourcing process prioritizes the origin and quality of the raw materials.
13 shops on Chof carry Hogarth. Each shop picks its own bars, so selection varies.
