accreditation

In our first episode of Looking Local, we explore the thriving business of artisan chocolate in South Africa. Watch.

Many people will be receiving delicate chocolates for Valentine's Day this weekend, here's a chance to see just what goes into this delightful delicacy.

Jennifer Sanasie takes you inside Cocoafair, to show you how chocolate is made, from bean to bar. Here each bar of chocolate is hand made, and individually wrapped.

We speak to owner, Heinrith Katze, about the business structure at Cocoafair which allows employment to South Africans who have never been involved in the chocolate industry before.

Go behind the scenes and see how your favourite treat is made!
