Kenyak is dedicated to producing Australian made chocolates that represent our people, ingredients, stories and traditions.
They call me the doc round town, though my real name is Chris Greentree. I’m an Australian pastry chef going after my dream. Something that I can create and craft with love, and pass on to you to share.
I’ve been involved with Chocolate in one way or another for over eight years. It was something I fell into when a career in Classical Percussion seemed a little too loud. I began my career in fine dining to begin with, and will be forever grateful for my start at Restaurant Orana and the love given to me by the Adelaide Hospitality Community.
Covid came and MO Chocolate was born. I began making and selling chocolates from my living room, and cooking pasta to pay the rent. The worst of Covid passed and the world began to open up. I realised that I didn’t have the business skils to take MO into a store or to scale up. So I went looking for skills. Moving interstate to pursue production management roles at Lune Croissanterie and more recently Coal River Farm here in Tasmania to fill in the missing pieces.
Along the way I settled in Hobart, where life is special; and took up work at Pigeon Whole Bakers. At some point, I realised that I’d find the other pieces of the puzzle in the community around me when I needed them.
Great for gifting, and best enjoyed with those you love.
