Discover the unique flavour of the Philippines 50% Cocoa Dark Milk Chocolate Bar, where every bite offers a journey to the volcanic soils of Mindanao Island. Firetree, the maker, is known for meticulously sourcing cocoa beans from the 'ring of fire' islands, where the rich, porous volcanic soil imparts a distinctive character to the beans.
This particular bar is a testament to that dedication, featuring cocoa beans harvested at their peak ripeness and expertly fermented by local farmers. A pinch of hand-harvested Icelandic lava salt is then added, enhancing the chocolate's natural caramel tones and delivering a creamy, salted caramel finish that lingers beautifully.
It is a single-estate, bean-to-bar craft chocolate, ensuring that the unique characteristics of the Mindanao Island cocoa are fully expressed. At 70g, it is the perfect size for a special treat or to share at a dinner party.

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.
