Deva Chocolate – Bellingen NSW

Raw chocolate, handmade in Bellingen

Deva Cacao is made by Maggie and Ming, a husband-and-wife team making chocolate by hand in Bellingen, just up the road from us. Their bars are organic raw chocolate, sweetened only with raw Australian honey. There's no refined sugar, dairy or soy in them, and the makers describe Deva as Australia's first tempered raw chocolate.

Tempering gives it the clean snap and smooth melt of a fine dark chocolate, and the honey adds a gentle, rounded sweetness. It's won national recognition too. The Macadamia bar took Bronze at the 2021 Clean + Conscious Awards, and the Sour Cherry took Silver in 2022. Every bar is wrapped in certified home-compostable film and recycled card, with box art by Coffs Coast artist Alyson Pearson.

We stock Deva for three reasons. It's local, it's made by hand by two people, and it's genuinely excellent. When you buy a bar, the money stays in the valley, and we're proud to have them on our shelves.

Deva Cacao Raw Chocolate - Sour Cherry
Deva Chocolate – Bellingen NSW
This is the bar for anyone who likes a bit of contrast. Soft, tart sour cherries cut through smooth raw dark chocolate, and the gentle sweetness of raw honey bridges the two. Think Black Forest, only brighter and cleaner. It took Silver at the 2022 Clean + Conscious Awards, a year after Deva's Macadamia bar won Bronze. That makes two medal-winning bars from one small Bellingen kitchen. Maggie and Ming make every bar by hand. It's sweetened only with honey and wrapped in certified home-compostable film and recycled card. The box art is by Coffs Coast illustrator Alyson Pearson. Ingredients: Cacao paste, cacao butter, honey, sour cherries, vanilla bean, sea salt.\ Dietary: Free from dairy, soy, refined sugar and artificial colours, flavours and preservatives (producer statement). Contains honey, so not vegan.

Deva Cacao Raw Chocolate - Macadamia
Deva Chocolate – Bellingen NSW
There's a reason this is Deva Cacao's top seller. Buttery Australian macadamias are folded through smooth raw dark chocolate. The honey's sweetness and the nut's natural creaminess pull in the same direction: rich, mellow and very hard to stop at one row. The judges agreed. In 2021 this bar took Bronze at the national Clean + Conscious Awards, against some of the biggest names in Australian healthy chocolate. That's a real achievement for a small husband-and-wife business. Maggie and Ming make every bar by hand in Bellingen. It's raw, tempered and sweetened only with honey, with no refined sugar anywhere. Each bar is wrapped in certified home-compostable film and recycled card. Ingredients: Cacao paste, cacao butter, honey, macadamias, vanilla bean, sea salt.\ Allergens: Contains tree nuts (macadamia).\ Dietary: Free from dairy, soy, refined sugar and artificial colours, flavours and preservatives (producer statement). Contains honey, so not vegan.

Deva Cacao Raw Chocolate - Mint & Nibs
Deva Chocolate – Bellingen NSW
Peppermint and dark chocolate are old friends, and Deva Cacao pairs them beautifully. Organic peppermint oil lifts a smooth, deep 78% raw cacao. Raw cacao nibs run through every square, adding a nutty crunch. It's fresh rather than sweet, so it works as the square after dinner that actually finishes the meal. Like everything Deva makes, there's no refined sugar in it. The only sweetener is raw Australian honey, which gives a soft, rounded finish. Deva is made by hand in Bellingen, just up the road, by husband-and-wife team Maggie and Ming. They make what they describe as Australia's first tempered raw chocolate, and their range has collected several medals at the national Clean + Conscious Awards. Each bar is wrapped in certified home-compostable film inside a recycled card box, illustrated by Coffs Coast artist Alyson Pearson. Ingredients: Organic cacao paste, organic cacao butter, organic raw Australian honey, organic cacao nibs, organic vanilla bean, organic sea salt, organic peppermint oil. 78% cacao.\ Dietary: Free from dairy, soy, refined sugar and artificial colours, flavours and preservatives (producer statement). Contains honey, so not vegan.
