Australia launches a chocolate of origin

Australia's first home-grown chocolate is on the market.

Daintree Estates Chocolate is made from cocoa grown and processed in Far North Queensland, with raw sugar from the Mossman Central Mill.

Cane farmer Gerard Puglisi says growing cocoa may have been a leap of faith for his family, but it's starting to pay dividends.

"Many people probably feel that there is chocolate made in Australia already, but it's actually just moulded from overseas products," he said.

"So this is actually the first, 100 per cent commercially manufactured chocolate made from Australian cocoa.

"We've had some international interest already, so we're very confident this product will take off."
