If you already like your chocolate dark, this collection takes you to the end of the scale. Every bar is 100% cocoa with no added sugar. With nothing else in the recipe, the flavour depends entirely on the bean and on how it is roasted.
Firetree sources its cocoa from two places: Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu in the South Pacific. Both sit on volcanic soil, which Firetree describes as rich and porous, and says gives the beans their distinctive character. The beans are then roasted low and slow. Firetree says this removes the bitterness and develops the deep, rich flavours of the cocoa.
What you get:
- A collection of 100% cocoa chocolate, made for fans of Firetree's no-added-sugar chocolate
- Single-estate cocoa from Guadalcanal (Solomon Islands) and Vanuatu
- Bean-to-bar craft
- Sugar-free
The tags on the range point to taste notes of cocoa and fruit, and to bar sizes of 25g and 70g. The product page lists the exact contents of this bundle in its details section.
Diet and suitability: the product is tagged vegan, halal, kosher and no added sugar.
How Firetree works: the brand says it works closely with local farmers, who harvest only perfectly ripe pods. Fermentation relies on the farmers' sensory expertise and years of experience, and is followed by traditional sun-drying. Firetree describes this hands-on approach, from farm to factory, as the way it preserves the flavour of the cocoa in every bar.
Who it suits: anyone who wants a sugar-free chocolate, and anyone buying for a chocolate lover. It is also tagged for birthdays and anniversaries, and as a bundle it works as a gift. Here is what works: start with a small square, let it melt slowly, and see which bean you prefer.
About Firetree
Firetree specialises in crafting exquisite chocolate, addressing the desire for distinctive, high-quality experiences that transcend mass-produced offerings. They bring the nuanced tastes of remote island terroirs to the forefront, focusing on the unique flavour profiles derived from cocoa beans grown in volcanic soils.
What sets Firetree apart is their meticulous sourcing from the 'ring of fire' islands like those in the southern Pacific, Oceania, and Madagascar. The cocoa trees, or 'firetrees', thrive in this rich, porous volcanic soil, which imparts a distinctive character to the beans. This geographical specificity, combined with their commitment to single-origin cocoa, ensures a chocolate experience unlike any other.
Firetree's dedication extends to the craft, working closely with local farmers who expertly harvest only perfectly ripe pods. The fermentation process, often described as an art, relies on the farmers' sensory expertise and years of experience, followed by traditional sun-drying. This careful, hands-on approach from farm to factory ensures that the inherent sumptuous flavours of their unique cocoa are fully developed and preserved in every bar.
