Cacao of Excellence Award-Winning Trio $40 value — save $5 when purchased as a set

Celebrating Hawai‘i’s rise on the world stage of fine chocolate: This exclusive trio showcases cacao from three exceptional Hawai‘i origins—Kamananui, Honoli‘i, and Kahalu‘u—each recognized among the “Top 50 Best Cacao in the World” at the 2025 Cacao of Excellence Awards. These bars represent not only world-class flavor, but the strength of the relationships behind them.

Mānoa Chocolate is a farm partner at both Kamananui and Honoli‘i, where we work directly in the cultivation of the cacao. This vertical integration allows us to be involved at every step of the process—from the seed going in the ground to the final molding of the chocolate bar. At Kahalu‘u, we maintain one of our longest-standing sourcing relationships, built on years of mutual trust and collaboration. This recognition honors the farmers and teams across all three origins whose dedication to quality and sustainable agriculture makes exceptional Hawaiian chocolate possible.
