Metiisto Chocolate, Toowoomba - It starts with cocoa

Award-winning boutique chocolate producer Metiisto Chocolate creates its products from bean to bar in Toowoomba. Chocolate maker Trevor Smith takes a full week to create each batch of their delicious chocolate with 100 per cent traceable ingredients. All their cocoa is grown for flavour rather than volume and ethically sourced at higher than fair trade prices. Products include chocolate bars, coated nuts and bark, confectionary and drinking chocolate. Metiisto’s factory and shop is open Tuesday to Saturday. You can watch the factory process, taste and buy the chocolate, or order online. Toowoomba is an easy 1.5-hour drive west of Brisbane on the Warrego Highway.
