2 x 'Guadalcanal' Vegan Dark Chocolate Bar by Firetree Chocolate 65g - Vegan Chocolate Bar - Volcanic Chocolate

The coast of Guadalcanal, nestled in the heart of the Solomon Islands, is home to some of the finest cocoa from this region. The cocoa trees grow in this rich volcanic soil, protected from the midday sun beneath high coconut palms. Their beans encapsulate a subtle cocoa flavour overlaid with delicate plum and citrus notes.

Grown on a family farm, the unique qualities of our cocoa beans are protected from the sun by the shade of coconut trees. The harvesting, de-podding and fermentation are undertaken by the extended family, whose care and skill assures a rare and exquisite chocolate experience.

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: Red fruits citrus and plum, with enduring cocoa undertones. 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.
