Big news from Lahaina 🌱🍫

Our cacao farm has officially received designation from the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund - becoming just the 21st cacao origin in the world to earn this recognition since the organization was founded in 2012!

This designation is awarded to cacao with flavor profiles considered both exceptional and unique. Samples are processed into standardized 70% chocolate and evaluated through blind tastings by an international panel of specialty chocolate experts.

The panel described our cacao as having:

“a vibrant, refreshing fruitiness - ranging from zesty citrus, tamarind, and mango to rich notes of raisin and plum - which transitions into a lingering floral and herbal finish.”

After selection, the cacao undergoes genetic testing through the USDA to identify the unique genetic makeup contributing to those flavors. Our team had already spent years identifying and genotyping many of the distinctive trees growing here on our Lahaina farm.

We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition and proud to represent Maui among such a small group of cacao origins worldwide 🌺

For about 6-8 days, our cacao seeds are fermented under banana leaves and turned regularly for even development 🌱🍫🫘

It starts with yeast breaking down the sugars in the pulp, creating alcohol and acids. As oxygen is introduced, that alcohol is converted - triggering an exothermic reaction that can raise temperatures to over 50°C / 122°F.

That heat and acidity transform the beans from the inside out - reducing bitterness and developing the flavors that will eventually become chocolate.

Next: sun drying ☀️

Rainy days = chocolate days 🍫🌧️

When the weather rolls in, step inside and slow down with us.

Our retail store & café are open no matter what - browse our full collection of award-winning chocolate, sip on hot chocolate, or treat yourself to a chocolate milkshake or tasting flight 🍫

It’s the perfect cozy stop while the rain passes through.
