About the Bar: Honoli‘i Orchards is a multi-generational family farm located on the windward slopes of Mauna Kea, Hawai‘i Island’s tallest volcano. This region is defined by abundant rain-fall, deep volcanic soil, and a dynamic terrain shaped by the Honoli‘i Stream. Farm manager, Colin Hart, is an agricultural specialist with a master's degree in cacao from the University of Hawai‘i. Since 2019, Mānoa Chocolate has collaborated with Colin to establish both a thriving farm and center for cacao research and education within the state.

made in hawai'i

All of our chocolate is crafted from bean-to-bar at our chocolate factory in Kailua, O'ahu.

direct trade cacao

We grow our own cacao and source direct from farmers. This allows us to establish long lasting relationships based on trust and quality. By cutting out intermediaries we can also pay our farmers higher prices for their crop.

sustainably packaged

Each chocolate bar is wrapped in a biodegradable/compostable plant-based fiber.

simple ingredients

70% single origin dark chocolate [60% cacao nibs, 10% cacao butter, 30% organic cane sugar].

"70%" represents the amount of cacao present in the recipe. Because cacao (aka cocoa) butter is technically cacao, its 10% is added to the 60% nibs, making this bar a 70% dark chocolate. Why 70% you say? This recipe has become the craft chocolate industry's standard for a single origin dark chocolate. The ratio of 70% cacao to 30% sugar has been identified as an ideal balance to taste the inherent flavor present in the cacao.

"Single Origin" signifies that all the cacao beans for a particular batch of chocolate were sourced from the same farm, region and or country.
