pa'akai x sea salt
In ancient Hawaii, pa’akai (sea salt) was used in food preservation, religious & ceremonial purposes, and as medicine. Pa’akai was collected from rocky shoreline pools, and on a larger scale Hawaiians harvested salt from man-made clay ponds; a method still practiced today.
-
kope x coffee
Coffee plantations first emerged in Hawaii in the mid 1800’s. From then the crop has thrived, with over 8,200 acres planted across the state. Here in Hawaii, more farms now grow coffee than any other crop, and we are proud to be able to source locally grown coffee for this bar. The infusion of Hawaiian coffee (kope) into creamy dark milk chocolate and a sprinkling of crunchy cacao nibs make this the ideal chocolate breakfast bar.

liliko'i x passion fruit
When the seeds of passion fruit first came to Hawaii from Australia in 1880, they were planted in the East Maui district of Liliko'i and the name stuck. Inside, the fruit is filled with an aromatic mass of juicy pulp and edible seeds. The juice, with its distinct tangy flavor, is a popular ingredient in Hawaiian cuisine, used to make sauce, candy, ice cream, tea, or in cocktails and shave ice.

haupia x coconut
The Polynesians settlers brought coconut on their long voyage to Hawaii. It is known as a canoe plant - a crop essential for island living. The coconut provided a source of food, water, and useful crafting material. The Hawaiian word for coconut is niu, but the title of this bar "Haupia," refers to the popular Hawaiian desert made using the white meat of coconut fruit.
-
manakō x mango
Historical accounts suggest Mangoes first arrived in the Hawaiian Islands before 1825. In Hawaii the fruit thrives with over 500 varieties across the islands! Mango season is a highlight of summer in Hawaii and brings a pleasant sweet to the heat. It is widely consumed fresh or preserved through pickling, chutney, and sauces.

mai'a banana
The Polynesian settlers brought with them mai'a (banana) on their long voyage to Hawaii. It is known as a canoe plant - a crop essential for island living. Not only was mai'a used as sustenance, but as an offering to ali'i (ruling chief), a highly regarded gift, and as medicine for various ailments. Fruit was scarce in ancient Hawaii and banana was one of only a handful available.

o'ahu island, mililani
The Hawaiian cacao of this single origin chocolate bar originates from Mililani Estate in central Oahu. This diverse 97 acre farm hosts crops of breadfruit, banana, avocado, taro and 10 acres of cacao. Their first ever cacao harvest occurred in late 2019 as the trees turned three years old. The chocolate produced from this Estate is some of the most bright and fruity we've ever made. After only a few months of being available, this bar has won multiple awards, including gold for Best Dark Chocolate at the prestigious Chocolate Aliance Awards.

O'ahu Island, Waimanalo
Waimanalo is a small town just 15 minutes from our Kailua based factory. The verdant Ko’olau mountain range towers over the largest beach on O’ahu, making for an epic combination of mountain, jungle and ocean. This region is home to three cacao farms. We’ve collaborated with these farms for many years, treating the trees like our own, and helping to select genetics based on fine flavor. In 2021, as the farms reached maturity, we had enough cacao to make the first ever single origin Waimanalo bar.
-
hawai'i island, kealakekua
Located on the west side of Hawai'i Island (the Big Island), Kealakekua is hot and dry. Normally, cacao trees would be unable to survive the harsh lava field conditions, but with irrigation they thrive. The cacao of this chocolate bar is farmed, fermented and dried by the Hard Rock Gardens Estate in Kealakekua.
-
o'ahu island, ko'olaupoko
The cacao of this chocolate comes from Ko‘olaupoko. This windward region of O‘ahu stretches from the town of Waimanalo to Kualoa. Cacao beans are collected from farms across the region and centrally fermented and dried in the small town of Kahalu‘u by local farmer Ben Field.
-
o'ahu island, kahalu'u
Twenty minutes from our chocolate factory, back in rainy Kahalu‘u valley, lush vegetation and rainfall make excellent growing conditions for cacao. Since 2017 we’ve been working with Ben Field, a local Kahalu‘u farmer who not only grows, ferments, and dries his own cacao, but does so for his neighbors and farmers around the Island. Ben and this farming cooperative are one of our largest suppliers of Hawaiian grown cacao.

Hawaiian rum
We teamed up with local rum distiller Kō Hana to create this bar. Kō Hana Agricole Rum is meticulously crafted from farm to bottle. They grow single varietal sugar canes that are hand harvested, pressed to juice and distilled to perfection - resulting in one of the world's finest pure cane rums. Our cacao nibs are soaked in their rum, which we then process into chocolate.

goat milk
This bar has a unique flavor that reminds us of a dark chocolate cheesecake. With only 20% sugar and 11% goat milk powder, it has both the characteristics of a bold dark chocolate and the rich creaminess of a milk chocolate.
-
hawai'i island milk
For this chocolate we hand select beans from quality cacao producers across the Kona and Hilo regions of Hawaii Island (the Big Island). This is our only milk chocolate produced from Hawaiian grown cacao. It is crafted in a Belgium/Swiss style of chocolate making that uses milk to bring out a creamy, caramel mouthfeel and flavor.
