About Whittaker’s
Believing Best Is Always Better Since 1896.
Whittaker’s was founded by James Henry Whittaker in 1896, and is now directed by his grandchildren, third-generation Whittaker brothers Andrew and Brian. The next generation of Whittaker’s, siblings Matt and Holly, also work in the business as co Chief Operating Officers. The company has recently celebrated its 125th anniversary which is a testament to the family’s focus on world class quality chocolate that is still New Zealand owned and operated.
We are proud to be Reader’s Digest’s ‘New Zealand’s Most Trusted Brand’ for a record twelve consecutive years. We take it as an endorsement of our relentless focus on quality and innovation, and our commitment to genuine engagement with Whittaker’s Chocolate Lovers.
Our delicious chocolate range contains over a hundred products; our bestseller is Five Roll Refined Creamy Milk. Other favourites include our Artisan Squares and Minimix Assortments, Hazella, Dark Ghana, Almond Gold, Creamy Caramel, and our iconic Peanut Slab. We proudly support our suppliers with Rainforest Alliance certification for all Ghanaian cocoa, a direct relationship with the Vaa’i family in Samoa to ensure traceability, and by supporting New Zealand’s best artisan producers via our premium ‘New Zealand Artisan Collection’ range. In 2022, we achieved 100% traceability of our cocoa beans from farm to factory, which allows us to make our chocolate with the highest quality cocoa and the highest level of traceability in the cocoa bean supply chain.
We look forward to continuing our journey, and vision for having the world loving world class chocolate from Porirua, New Zealand.
Whittaker’s have been a Twin brand since 1995.
