2 x 'Malekula Island' Vegan Dark Chocolate Bar by Firetree
Chocolate 65g - Vegan Chocolate Bar - Volcanic Chocolate
Brand: Firetree
Almost all the cocoa grown in Vanuatu comes from this
one island: Malekula. This sparsely populated island is a two-day
boat journey from the capital of Port Vila. But the rich volcanic
soil here yields a cocoa bean with a complex flavour and hints of
cherry, white grape and citrus that makes the journey worthwhile.
Malekula is a tiny island, blessed with rich volcanic soils. Due to
the care of the indigenous farmers and collaboration with the main
island to develop the best agricultural practices, the estate
produces coca of outstanding quality and calibre. 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: Cherry, soft
lemon and white grape aromas give an essence of lush fruit. 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.
