Peter's Chocolate Connection

What do you get when you cross premium chocolate with the finest Australian ingredients? Incredible, edible masterpieces by Mayfield Chocolates is what. And they’re nearly too good to eat.

Master chocolatier and owner Peter Ingall works his meltable magic with a bounty of delectable Australian ingredients, such as Queensland ginger, roasted wattleseed and leatherwood honey. His uniquely native flavours have won fans near and far, the team at Mayfield Chocolates now flying their Brisbane-made chocolates around Australia and all over the world.

Peter’s love affair with chocolate began at Darrell Lea. He then catapulted from rocky road to a German diploma in confectionery technology (yes, there’s such a thing), before opening Mayfield Chocolates to explore and refine unique Australian flavours.

Over the past 25 years, Peter has experimented with countless combinations of native ingredients at Mayfield Chocolates Spring Hill, including lemon myrtle ganache, Kakadu plum cloaked in smooth milk chocolate and the aptly named Sunshine Truffle with Queensland dark rum, pineapple and coconut.

“Almost all of our recipes are world firsts, so they make an ideal gift for someone with a discerning palate,” Peter said.

“Whether our customers are in Australia or overseas, the rich Australian flavours we incorporate into all of our pieces are always a surprise.”

The team at Mayfield Chocolates were the first in the world to feature native Australian foods in chocolate. They have since not only elevated the chocolate-coated macadamia but proven Australian talent can take on the best chocolate nations in the world, winning a gold medal at the prestigious Monde Selection in Belgium.

It’s not surprising Valentine’s Day and Easter are two of the busiest periods for the team of chocolatiers. With fine-food customers stretching from Sydney to Sapporo, Mayfield Chocolates relies on BNE as a convenient connection for shipping chocolatey deliciousness quickly and carefully, any day of the week.

“Being able to send such delicate, perishable freight in smaller quantities from Brisbane Airport means we can make fast connections with customers in many cities,” Peter said.

“Whether it be a batch of the finest chocolate eggs for a business conference in Melbourne, or a dozen boxes of assorted chocolates for a wedding reception in Brazil, BNE helps Mayfield Chocolates create moments of magic all over the world.”
