Dunedin Chocolate Factory

We purchased our tickets for the tour and in the the mean time we got to walk through the musuem. It was a good insight into how Cadbury came to be. Chris thought this place was a place of hopes and dreams! He was loving it. We then started our tour which was to go for an hour, Chris's day really couldnt get any better. We first where taken into a room for a safety briefing and then told no photos or bags could be taken unfortunatley on the tour. We first where taken into a room in the factory where we got to sample liquid chocolate before tempering had been completed, there where also some yummy toppings. The room had loads of information about how chocloate was made and how every ingredient was purchased from around the world. A lady showed everyone how to temper chocloate on a demonstration in this room as well. We then moved onto a large purple silo, here we got to climb about 100 stairs inside. Inside we got to watch 1 tone of cholate being dropped from the top of the silo. This was insane!! So much chocolate. We then headed into one last room where we watched a video of how the jaffers where made in the factory. The factory here in Dunedin only mass produces Jaffers, pinapple lumps and banana bars. They are unfortunatly closing down in 3 weeks as they are moving to production to Melboune as they purchase 70% of the produce at the moment. After the tour we purchased a few blocks of cholate and headed to the cafe where Amanda had an ice-cholate and Chris has an Earl tea as he was still a little unwell.Läs mer
