Hi Remo, you must remember me as I took care of you and your staff twice while staying on Wilson Island Great Barrier Reef Queensland in about 1992. Great to see you are still doing what you are passionate about. I am now settled in Brisneyland with my beautiful wife Nan and 2 girls Sabine 5 and Saige 3. Just starting a new job offshore in WA fly in fly out so I shall enjoy being able to send my girls presents in my absence. Hope you and family are well and tust your fantastic staff will forward this to you. Hope they remember me too. Regards, Rosko

DECEMBER 2006 UPDATE:
SEE WHITTAKER'S CHOCOLATES !!

Haigh's make Australia's most delicious chocolates.

On 1 May 1915 the name "Haigh's Chocolates" appeared on the window of the Beehive Corner building in King William Street, Adelaide. The Haigh's heritage of "Confiserie Surfine" meaning "the very finest confectionery" has been carried on by four generations of the Haigh family - with chocolates hand made by dedicated confectioners on an array of specialised German machines using recipes perfected throughout the century. (One Haigh trained with exulted Swiss firm "Lindt and Sprugli.")

There is no great secret to the company's success. It is based on the best European standards and all boils down to the quality of the ingredients used. Haigh's imports their own cocoa beans (the best from Venezuela and Ecuador), and take three times longer to make the chocolate than other people do. This gets it finer and smooth to the tongue.

Everything is really delicious and the award-winning chocolate frogs are beyond description.


NB: HELP! Haigh's no longer wholesales its chocolates (well not really, they've made one exception, we're trying to be another.) Every so often we BEG them to look beyond the logistical issues and resupply us with at least the Chocolate Frogs. Maybe you can help. Please leave heartfelt, impassioned and articulate pleas below. We'll pass it all on to the good people at Haigh's. CustOMER Power!

No words for these...mouth too full of chocolate. I have long been a fan of Haigh's exquisite violet and rose creams. The delicate floral aroma is to die-for. And the piece of candied petal on top is the crowning jewel of each piece. Aahhh. Now that Haigh's has a shop in Sydney I can indulge more often, but what about those who aren't privileged to live in a "Haigh's city"? Bring Haigh's back to REMO!

Wonderful, wonderful, dark chocolate froggies....I understand that you would be v.protective of the quality of your product, but surely you can come to some arrangement with Remo and ship these beauties to Sydney and beyond? It would be easier to understand why not if Haigh's actually had their own online business, but they don't. At least, just the frogs....pweese?

Amanda Dalton-Winks has given this product a 5 star rating | Haigh's - Have Mercy! (please?)
I remember when I first moved to Melbourne from Adelaide (all those years ago!), and was delighted to find that I could purchase my beloved Haigh's frogs from REMO (and ONLY from REMO, at the time...). Having now returned to Adelaide, I am within (all too) easy reach of Haigh's again, and delight in taking my interstate & international customers to the Haigh's factory to show it off - imagine how thrilled they'd be if they could order the chocolate from home via REMO? Go on - do it for them, Haigh's, as well as for the many Adelaidian expats all over the world - please, please, please?

Have mercy on the Adelaide diaspora ...these days I work within 10minutes of the frogs but as for my colleagues abroad I dont know how they cope...please bring them back for their sake if nothing else. The rose and violet creams are fairly remarkable as well..but thats another story.

jackie campisi has given this product a 5 star rating | what ever happened to Haigh's
I grew up with Haigh's being the only Australian made chocolate which came remotely near the quality of European made dark chocolate, which was almost impossible to obtain unless you had a relative who travelled regularly overseas -and while we waited for the overseas care packages, everytime dad travelled to SA he wouldn't be allowed back in the door unless he had a stock of Haigh's in the bag. Definitely yes please, more Haigh's...frogs, whatever...just make it dark!

Haigh's please reconsider. The 5 hour return drive to Melbourne to feed my frog addiction is taking its toll. Your chocolates are worth it but just think how much more I could eat if they were but a click away!

I'm moving to Adelaide just to be near them! I've even thought of doing a mailorder business based on their products - they're sooooo GOOD! Anyhoo, REMO, you guys deserve to have their products and distribute them far and beyond. We want Haigh's, we want Haigh's!

Remo Giuffre has given this product a 5 star rating | Addicted to Haigh's Chocolate Frogs
When Melanie and I moved to the US in 1997 we included 50 boxes of the chocolate frogs within our hand luggage. That's how serious we were about our shared addiction. They only lasted 6 months. We were so eager for others to taste the difference that we squandered our booty too quickly. Desperate to have convenient supply line re-opened.
