What is Hawaii-Grown Cacao?

What is Hawaii-Grown Cacao?

Honoka’a Chocolate Co. references cacao as the raw and unrefined bean from the cacao tree prior to any processing or roasting. Once the cacao has been roasted, cracked, and winnowed, it takes the form of ‘nibs’ which are then used to make our unique Hawaiian chocolate.

Cacao origins are important for chocolate connoisseurs who value the terroir of the various growing regions around the globe. Hawaii-grown cacao is one of our key ingredients; however, the team at Honoka’a Chocolate Co. also procures cacao from around the world including the Americas and Asia.

For those looking for products featuring Hawaii-grown cacao, products such as our “Pure Hawaiian Cacao Bar 85%” are available online: https://honokaachocolateco.com/collections/frontpage/products/pure-hawaiian-cacao-bar-85

We are continually working to add new flavor profiles to our product lines.
