St Kilda’s favourite artisan chocolate shop Cacao has sprouted more branches since I was last in town, which is a happy indicator of Melbourne’s ever-expanding appetite for beautiful handmade chocolate treats – even at $1.95 a mouthful.
Cacao’s chocolates are made with the finest Belgium couverture (naturelement) and I like their brightly decorated avant-garde designs. The photo of my personal selection through the crinkly bag doesn’t do the bright hues justice, but I can vouch for the amazing flavours of the Safran – a pop of citrus caramel ganache and milk chocolate ganache infused with saffron, then dipped in dark chocolate.

THanks for your information about what’s hot or not in the city! We are planning to visit soon and it’s nice to know a little bit about it! Enjoying your website!
What a “yummy” looking picture. I’m getting hungry just looking at it. I’d be happy to pay $1.95 a mouthful. Do you know if these treats are available anywhere else? Are they available online?
