Firetree's Madagascar Sambirano Valley 84% dark chocolate bar is a journey to the heart of cocoa excellence. The Sambirano Valley, with its warm, humid micro-climate and rich volcanic soil, provides the perfect conditions for growing cocoa beans that develop a truly unique flavour.
What makes this bar stand out is its instantly recognisable hint of raspberry and red fruit taste notes, a direct result of its single-estate origin and the meticulous bean-to-bar craft. Firetree works directly with local farmers who expertly harvest only perfectly ripe pods, ensuring the highest quality from the outset. The fermentation process, an art passed down through generations, relies on the farmers' sensory expertise, followed by traditional sun-drying to fully develop and preserve the inherent sumptuous flavours of this unique cocoa.
This 70g bar is a testament to Firetree's commitment to bringing the nuanced tastes of remote island terroirs to the forefront, offering a distinctive, high-quality chocolate experience that transcends mass-produced offerings.

About Our Brand 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.
