2 x 'Mindanao Island' Vegan Dark Chocolate Bar by Firetree
Chocolate 70g - Vegan Chocolate Bar - Volcanic Chocolate
Brand: Firetree
Situated on the most southerly of the larger islands
of the Philippines – and in the “Goldilocks zone” 10 degrees either
side of the equator – the cocoa farmers of Mindanao Island have the
ideal combination of tropical rainforest and volcanic soil. It is
perfect for growing a cocoa bean with a distinctive chocolate
flavour complemented by hints of honey, fig and citrus notes. Our
cocoa is grown in the lush volcanic hills under a canopy of coconut
palms and plantain leaves ten degrees north of the equator. The
farmers divide the skills of harvesting and fermenting, resulting
in an exquisite chocolate. The long finish and lingering taste of
our chocolate is due to the firetree, or cocoa tree, which thrives
on the uniquely rich, porous soils of the South Seas' remote
volcanic Islands. Firetree's superior beans yield a distinct depth
and complexity. Tasting Notes: Citrus, honey and caramel layers
yield a gentle yet rich taste. To enjoy fully, take time to let the
flavours develop on the palate. 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.
