About the Bar:
This 50% milk chocolate bar made with beans from Kamananui represents a partnership between Cacao Services Inc. and Mānoa Chocolate. Kamananui cacao grows in an agroforest with other tropical fruit and hardwoods. The orchard was carefully designed to help our trees thrive on the North Shore of O’ahu. Kamananui hosts a rich diversity of cacao genetics, while also acting as a principal hub for cacao breeding in Hawai’i.

Mount Ka‘ala, featured on this package, is O’ahu’s tallest peak. The Kamananui cacao orchard sits nestled in Ka‘ala’s foothills, distinguished by its red soil, large monkey pod trees, wild pua‘a (boar), and peacocks. This farm is named after, and located in the Kamananui ahupua‘a. An “ahupua‘a” is a traditional Hawaiian land division system that extends from the mountains to the sea, encompassing all the resources needed for self-sufficiency. The name Kamananui is derived from the Hawaiian words nui, meaning “big,” and mana, meaning “path,” translating to “wide path.”

Details: 50% milk chocolate. Ingredients: organic cane sugar, cacao, cocoa butter, organic whole milk powder. 2.1oz (60g) bar. CONTAINS DAIRY. For maximum flavor, store and eat chocolate at 65-70° F.
