2 x 'Karkar Island' Vegan Dark Chocolate Bar by Firetree
Chocolate 70g - Vegan Chocolate Bar - Volcanic Chocolate
Brand: Firetree
It is a little misleading to call Karkar an island, as
it is in fact one large volcano. 60 miles across, and visible from
over 50 miles away. But the rich soil you find here on the sides of
the volcano is ideal for growing the finest cocoa, with its bold
flavours, reminiscent of dates, walnut and red fruits. This
volcanic island is home to two family cocoa farms employing most of
the population. Good farming practices and long-held skills of
fermentation and drying combine to ensure a superb tasting
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: Walnut and wild mushrooms yield to intense cocoa,
ending with truffles. 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.
