About
Solomons Gold
Solomons Gold is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in New Zealand. The company focuses on processing cocoa beans locally to maintain control over the production cycle, identifying its work as real chocolate produced directly within the country.
The production process at Solomons Gold follows the bean-to-bar model, which involves managing the transformation of raw cocoa into finished bars on-site. This approach allows the maker to oversee the roast and refinement stages, shaping the character of their products from start to finish.
Sourcing practices at the company prioritize direct trade relationships with cocoa producers. By working directly with growers, the maker manages its supply chain to ensure a specific level of oversight and connection to the origins of the cocoa used in its bars.
