Envisioned by Chef Patissier Santiago Cuyugan in late 2019, Mamé Cocoa has become Australia's leading Nama Chocolatier.
Mamé Cocoa is a Melbourne made artisanal chocolate brand guided by heritage, craftsmanship, and "omiyage" culture.
Our flavours tell our story too. Inspired by Chef Santiago’s heritage, we explore unique flavours from around the world to create something familiar, unexpected and distinctly us.
Everything we create is hand-crafted, designed and packaged right here in Melbourne.
We believe that a little luxury should be enjoyed often - and that great chocolate starts with great ingredients. That’s why we use carefully selected ingredients in everything we make.
Being local is important to us, so we choose Australian-made and locally sourced ingredients without ever compromising on quality, whenever possible.
All of our fresh dairy ingredients are 100% Australian, and our packaging is designed in Australia.
Mamé Cocoa began with a simple idea: to offer a little sweet luxury that could brighten moods and lift spirits while Melbourne stayed home.
What started as a humble solo effort quickly became a monthly sold-out affair.
With the support of our loved ones and an incredibly loyal community of nama chocolate lovers, we’ve grown from our kitchen beginnings into a passionate team, now creating from our production kitchen in Coburg North.
And this is only the beginning.
We’re constantly experimenting, creating, pairing and dreaming up what comes next - one chocolate, one flavour and one slightly ambitious idea at a time.
Follow along as we share our latest creations, new product developments, events and, occasionally, a little behind-the-scenes chaos.
Or simply stop by and say hello. We always appreciate a thumbs up.
Crafted with Care
Each piece of Nama chocolate is made in small batches using carefully selected ingredients.
A balance of cacao and cream, shaped by texture, temperature, and time.
