Fremantle Chocolate Factory
Posted August 26th, 2009 in Perth WA 1 Comment »When my partner and I were riding around Fremantle the other day, we decided to drop by this factory and have a look around. Although this place opens 7 days a week, and has been advertising on one of Japanese news magazines in Perth, it was my first time going there.
While we were parking our vespa, I saw few Japanese people (I could tell!) going towards this factory. Hmm seems that the advertising on the Japanese magazine is really effective, otherwise this place is hard to be found and no one would realize there is a chocolate factory in Fremantle – especially tourists. (‘x’)
As we entered the factory I saw Japanese news magazines on a rack, and a sign board on the wall written in Japanese! Wow lots of Japanese people must come here often.
They sell chocolate with a wide variety of flavors, and the packaging has a logo of “Chocolate Factory Fremantle”, so they make great souvenirs. There are free tasting chocolate (milk, dark and white), and I tasted white chocolate buttons. They are pretty sweet.
What I found interesting is that they also sells some molded chocolate : shaped into some animals, gift basket etc. I thought they are really cute, and I almost bought a treasure box shaped chocolate. Then I realized “wait, who am I gonna give this to?? I can’t bring it to Japan as it might melt (as it is hot in Japan), and partner’s parents can’t have lots of sugar.” It would be a good gift if you have someone who loves chocolate.
They also sell some handmade fudge delivered from Margaret River Fudge Factory as well as Morish Nuts products.
You can see inside of factory through windows.
im going to go there recently, thanks for your information.
