OUR FINE CHOCOLATES
Created onsite Leura, in the beautiful Blue Mountains, our chocolates are handcrafted using FAIRTRADE CERTIFIED Belgian couverture chocolate.
We are passionate about our fresh chocolates at Josophan's, and refuse to compromise quality to extend the shelf life of our chocolates. Our chocolates, being freshly made, without the use of artificial flavours or preservatives, are best eaten within
7 days of purchase.
We create our exquisite centres using fresh, natural flavour infusions, infusing cream with fresh herbs like basil and mint and premium ingredients including saffron, coffee beans and the incredibly aromatic Tahitian vanilla bean, to name a few. Beautiful blue gum and yellow box honey, local hazelnuts from Orange, and fine chocolate imported from France and Belgium blend together to make our extraordinary chocolates.
