So you have the perfect excuse to take a drive and visit this beautiful part of Victoria.
A small sample of the chocolates we make and sell.
We at Chocolate Mill believe that fabulous chocolate is not just the use of the best couverture chocolate but also made with an understanding of freshness and how the flavour and texture of filling ingredients combine with the couverture.
We have chosen to use Belgian chocolate as a basis for all our chocolates. This is because Belgian chocolate is manufactured with the highest standards, without cocoa butter substitutes or artificial ingredients.
Piping detail on truffles
Our fillings contain ingredients from local, national and international producers and suppliers. We use international products because of their superior quality and minimal or no artificial ingredients. However, if we can find equal or better products made locally we are more than happy to use them. The almonds, macadamias and quince paste we use are all Australian. The honey comes from bees that visit Yellowbox in our area and drink from our dam. Strawberries and raspberries also come from local suppliers.
What we sell in store is absolutely fresh, straight out of our kitchen on site. Our chocolates do not get a chance to lose their original freshness of flavour. We pride ourselves in making our own caramel and ganache on site, free of artificial ingredients to prolong shelf life. We make up all our fillings with natural flavours, such as essential oils and top quality essences, which provide strong, real tastes and smells.
The lovely Hayley with our "Cups of the Day"
On weekends we supply freshly made "Cups of the Day". These are milk chocolate cups (about the size of a shot glass) filled with fresh fruit puree and cream, with a delicious nut paste on the bottom layer and usually garnished with a strawberry segment. Chocolate samples are available for group bookings, however final numbers must be confirmed before the day and payment made upon arrival is appreciated.
