Our Company

	Opening its doors in 2003 Cacao has since expanded to now occupy 4 retail shops throughout Melbourne. Cacao also has a strong retail and corporate business all around Australia including 5 stars hotel, airlines and Bluechip companies… French Master Chocolatier Laurent Meric and newcomer Chef Patissier Tim Clark head up a team that has delivered Cacao many awards won in prestigious competitions nationally since 2005. Over the last 2 years Cacao won more than 20 prizes. 2008: 12 medals in show, 3 Gold, and People’s choice award. 2009: 9 Gold medals & Grand Champion award. Cacao owes its success to 3 fundamental factors: first of all the use of the finest Belgium chocolate single origins combined with the best ingredients from around the world and, at last but not least, the expertise of French Master Chocolatier Laurent Meric and Tim Clark. Coming at Cacao, is always an exciting and enjoyable moment. In the St Kilda shop, the first thing you will notice there is a delectable smell, coming from the pastry kitchen located at the back, that will have you enquire about what’s baking. The chocolate display looks as if chocolates bonbons were unique jewels coming from a prestigious boutique. And the chocolate selection itself is gargantuan. More than 36 different home made chocolates await you in a wild range of colours, shapes and texture. So much so that you might wonder how could anyone get to manducate into such pretty pieces of art? But the moment that piece of art melts inside your mouth, all your savoury senses will awake. Overseas customers are dazzled by Cacao’s quality, whom they think easily matches, any prestigious European Chocolatier. The Herald Sun, in one of its first review regarding Cacao SKilda’s shop described it as being the Louis Vuitton’s boutique for chocolates. So whatever you choose from: a chocolate bonbon, a crispy croissant or a colourful macaroon, a signature hot chocolate or a gourmet sandwich, Cacao will do everything to have you enjoy the experience and come again.
