Issue 13: Cailo and Australian Bean to Bar
This week I continue my ongoing exploration of Australian chocolate. I have been speaking with some incredible bean to bar makers and will be sharing the interviews on my blog over the next few months. First up is Cailo Chocolate from Western Australia!
Thanks for following and if you have any hot chocolate news you'd like to share, send it over.
