The CB Story

The story so far...

Well the Chocolate Brown story basically started in 2007 in a little South Island town called Geraldine. The original Chocolate Factory was set up 15 years previous to this by a Swiss couple passionate about chocolate. The McClean Family purchased the little Chocolate Factory, re-branded the name to Chocolate Brown and moved the factory to Queenstown. After growing Chocolate Brown for 3 years in Queenstown, Steve and Donna McClean decided to return to their hometown, Warkworth, to expand the Chocolate Brown dream . After  creatively renovating a building, which previously housed a local old school panel beaters, the factory was installed alongside the Chocolate Brown Chocolaterie and Cafeteria. Chocolate Brown is becoming well known as a top boutique chocolate producer in New Zealand.
