It’s time to get excited, Whittaker fans! The new Whittaker’s Cocoa Pods are the ultimate locally made premium treat or gift. They are also a significant innovation for Whittaker’s, following more than five years of development and investment in state-of-the-art new factory equipment to ensure Whittaker’s Cocoa Pods reflect Whittaker’s uncompromising commitment to quality in all its dimensions.
Whittaker’s Cocoa Pods have a 33% cocoa Five Roll Refined Creamy Milk chocolate shell with a wonderfully soft centre of hazelnut gianduja. Inspired by Whittaker’s beans-to-bar story, they are each crafted into an elegant and unique shape that resembles a natural cocoa pod. Each individually wrapped serve is a generous 12.5g, designed to be enjoyed in two indulgent bites.
The packaging for Whittaker’s Cocoa Pods has been a critical consideration in the context of the programme of work Whittaker’s has underway to deliver on its commitment to 100% sustainable packaging by 2025, building on where it is now with three-quarters of its packaging already recyclable.
As a result, Whittaker’s uses a mix of different types of packaging for Whittaker’s Cocoa Pods. This includes continuing to trial compostable material specifically to assess its performance on Whittaker’s wrapping machine, rather than its performance at disposal as was the focus of a previous trial.
The individually wrapped Whittaker’s Cocoa Pods come in two pack sizes: a 125g pouch and a 200g gift box, perfect for gifting, sharing, or treating yourself. They will be available in supermarkets nationwide from Monday 18 October and at Whittaker’s online gift shop, along with its other gifting assortments.
