'Hispaniola' Dark Chocolate Bar by Firetree Chocolate 65g -
Vegan Chocolate Bar - Volcanic Chocolate
Brand: Firetree Chocolate
Cocoa beans from the northeast of the island give this
limited edition varietal intense chocolate and brown fruit
flavours, with spicy red fruit notes and a hint of green banana.
The cocoa we buy grows close to the northeast coast of the island,
with its volcanic soils and idyllic beaches. Our cocoa has an
interesting brown fruit flavours compared to the usual liquorice,
blackcurrant notes found in cocoa from this island, which is why we
wanted to showcase it as a guest bar. The island is in the middle
of the cocoa-growing zone situated in the Caribbean off the north
coast of South America. The cocoa industry has grown well on this
island in the last 20 years, and we can see why, as the cocoa is
interesting and complex. About the Producer Founded by two
passionate chocolate makers and eaters with over 70 years of
chocolate experience, we launched firetree in 2019 but have been
sourcing rare beans from remote oceanic islands for several years
now. We started firetree to create a range of chocolate without
parallel. Each island variation we make only uses cocoa from a
single estate. We create a range of single estate chocolate bars,
all with their own subtle tastes derived from the volcanic soils of
the islands the cocoa trees grow on. As we work directly with our
farmers, we are able to influence the picking, fermenting and
drying of the beans before they are shipped directly to us in the
UK. Our promise on sustainability: Instead of dealing with our
farmers through agents, we go to them directly. By cutting out the
middle man, the farmers get more for their hard work. Two or three
times the market rate in fact. It means they can provide for their
families, and commit to high agricultural standards that makes for
a great chocolate.
