The man behind a campaign to keep some Cadbury confectionery made in Dunedin is now eying-up a locally owned chocolate maker.
Dunedin city councillor Jim O’Malley’s campaign to produce Cadbury’s iconic Kiwi brands – including Jaffas, Pineapple Lumps, Buzz Bars and Pinky Bars – ended after Dunedin Manufacturing Holding (DMH) withdrew its bid with global food giant Mondelez.
DMH attracted $5 million in pre-pledges to keep chocolate and confectionery making in Dunedin, and now the company plans to crowdfund to buy and expand craft chocolate maker Ocho (Otago Chocolate Company).
O’Malley said Ocho was already producing a quality product with the lowest cocoa ratio being 60 per cent – and there was less risk.
