Product profile
Perfect for Winter
Two tasty chocolate centres have been brought back for your enjoyment this winter.
Modelled on classic puddings and desserts they’re the perfect end to a special
dinner with family and friends. These two treats are only available until October
so make sure you look out for them when you’re next in store.
In this edition you can read
about our Quality Assurance
Technician, the travels of
the Model T Van and our
popular Factory Tours.
You’ll also find out about
our Gourmet Collection and
there’s a delicious new recipe
to make as well! Enjoy!
Banana Caramel
This two-layered centre has caramel fudge at the
bottom and a light banana fruit frappé on top.
Generously coated in our premium milk chocolate,
it’s a deliciously sweet, creamy treat.
Factory profile
The sweetest
job in the place
Sticky Date Pudding
A variation on this very popular winter dessert, pieces
of date have been encased in a soft and buttery
caramel centre, topped off with another piece of date
then generously coated in our premium milk chocolate.
Emma Barrie is our Quality Assurance Technician and it’s her job to make sure
that every chocolate that leaves the factory is up to the exceptional standards and
premium quality that our customers have come to know and expect.
On a busy day, the Quality Assurance team of
taste-testers at our Parkside factory may sample
30-40 products. The team consists of Emma,
one member of the Research and Development team
plus a rostered staff member. Tasting starts at 9am
to check the batches made the day before.
Right now you could be thinking ‘Wow! Eating
chocolates all day? That sounds like my dream
job!’ But while it might sound pretty easy,
there’s quite a science to this job, as Emma
explains.
“We look at the tempering — making
sure the product has a stable structure,
to make sure it lasts. The chocolate
should be glossy and have a snap
when you crack it, be cool on your
tongue, nice and smooth if it’s meant
to be smooth, crunchy if it’s meant
to be crunchy. We check the colour of
the centres, the hand marking, labels,
Emma inspecting milk Rocky Road
ingredients list, packaging, everything. If, for example,
the chocolate coated almonds aren’t shiny enough
we’ll send them back for repolishing.”
Emma holds a Diploma of Food Science and
Technology, Certificate 4 in Frontline Management
and is currently completing her Diploma of Quality
Management. Her job is to ensure the premium
quality of our products at all times — from the
second we get the ingredients in, to the moment
the finished products leave the factory for delivery
to Haigh’s stores.
The Quality Assurance team is also responsible for
liaising with the stores and responding to customer
queries, for example about ingredients. Part of
Emma’s role involves writing up all the detailed work
instructions for the manufacturing procedures and
keeping a keen eye on production at all stages of
the process.
Since she joined Haigh’s 20 months ago, Emma’s also
become very good at cutting chocolates into 8 pieces
so she doesn’t eat as much. And she’s joined a gym
so she doesn’t feel so guilty!

The Gourmet Collection
1 2
Since its introduction, the Haigh’s Gourmet Collection has become an important part
of the Haigh’s Chocolates range. Presented in stylish packaging of brown and gold
they make an ideal gift or special treat.
What began with our very popular Drinking
Chocolate has grown into a delicious group of
products. The Collection includes dessert sauces,
baked goods such as Chocolate Panforte, Chocolate
Tablets–70% Cocoa and Single Origin, a Striped
Hot Chocolate Mug and Fondue Set. Here are
some of these delicious products in profile;
Drinking Chocolate
There’s nothing better than enjoying a delicious piping
hot chocolate on those chilly winter days especially
with a marshmallow. Our Drinking Chocolate comes
in 2 flavours:
1 Premium Drinking Chocolate
Made from a special blend of cocoa beans, carefully
roasted and refined to create a velvety-flavoured,
rich beverage.
2 Spiced Drinking Chocolate
Made with premium cocoa beans and blended
with exotic spices from around the world including
cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and star anise. Its rich
mellow taste will give you a warm glow on a cold night!
3 Dark Chocolate
with Cardamom Tablet
Haigh’s Cardamom Chocolate is like eating an exotic
spiced dessert. Known as The Queen of Spices
cardamom is one of the world’s most ancient spices.
It’s sweet and aromatic qualities blend perfectly with the
rich cocoa profile of Haigh’s Premium Dark Chocolate.
4 Dark Chocolate
70% Cocoa Tablet
Made from a unique blend of premium South
American and African cocoa beans, this chocolate
has that special full-roasted flavour and smoothness
that you’ve come to expect from Haigh’s.
5 Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie
Haigh’s Gourmet Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie is made
with our premium dark chocolate, hazelnut pieces and
praline, then baked to perfection. Another great treat
to enjoy with Haigh’s Drinking Chocolate.
6 Chocolate Panforte
This traditional Italian specialty cake is made with
premium fruits and nuts and it’s even better than
the original recipe because we’ve added a generous
dollop of our delicious dark chocolate. Perfect with
a Haigh’s mug filled with freshly brewed coffee.
7 Shortbread Biscuits
with Dark Chocolate
Traditional butter shortbread biscuits enriched with
generous pieces of Haigh’s premium dark chocolate
in a 200g gift tin. Enjoy them for afternoon tea.
8 Fondue Set
Our stylish white ceramic Chocolate Fondue Set
complete with 4 forks and tea light is a different
way to indulge in our delicious chocolate. It’s a great
gift idea, especially when given with some Haigh’s
chocolate to melt such as Dark Chocolate Couveture.

This model
suits us to a T
Chances are, you may have seen a 1912 Model T Ford
getting around on occasion, with signwriting on the side
advertising Haigh’s Original Fruits. It’s a replica of the
delivery van we used way back in the 1920s.
The owner and restorer of this meticulous vehicle is Allan Bennett of Gawler,
in South Australia’s Barossa Valley. And because he’s as proud of his car as
we are of our chocolates, ours is the perfect partnership.
Recipe
Chocolate
Self Saucing
Pudding
This chocolate pudding is classic winter comfort food.
Rich and delicious, it's best enjoyed on a cold evening
served with cream or ice cream. Quick and easy to prepare.
Since 1995, Allan has given us the opportunity to advertise on his Ford. He’s
won a swag of state, national and international awards for his excellent restoration
and we get great exposure in the many veteran car events around the country
including the Bay to Birdwood, the Kernewek Lowender Cavalcade of Cars,
the National Model T Ford Rally and more.
The ‘Haigh’s Chocolate Van’ has become well known in both Adelaide and
Melbourne streets and outside our stores in particular, where it always draws
a crowd. Everyone, from our customers and the general public, to motoring
enthusiasts are keen to get a good look at this gem of a vehicle and to have
a chat with Allan, who’s more than happy to show off his pride and joy.
In the lead-up to Easter this year, Allan was very excited to finally bring his car
to Sydney to drive through the streets and then feature inside the beautiful Queen
Victoria Building specially for our new store. He then drove down to Melbourne
to spend time at our Hawthorn and Rialto stores before heading back home.
