Indulge in a moment of pure chocolate decadence with Firetree's Vanuatu, Malekula Island 72% Chocolate Thins. These delicate discs are designed to be savoured, offering a unique taste experience that reflects their exceptional origin.
Firetree specialises in bringing the nuanced tastes of remote island terroirs to the forefront, and these thins are a perfect example. The cocoa beans are sourced from Malekula Island in Vanuatu, where the 'firetrees' thrive in rich, porous volcanic soil. This unique environment imparts a distinctive character to the beans, resulting in a chocolate with exquisite complexity.
Expect bright and inviting notes of orange, cherry, and soft lemon, making each bite a journey of discovery. This exceptional flavour profile was recognised with a Bronze award at the Academy of Chocolate 2024.
Firetree's commitment to quality extends from farm to factory. They work closely with local farmers who expertly harvest only perfectly ripe pods. The fermentation process, an art in itself, relies on the farmers' sensory expertise and years of experience, followed by traditional sun-drying. This careful, hands-on approach ensures that the inherent sumptuous flavours of their unique cocoa are fully developed and preserved in every thin.
