Chocolate & Pa'akai Sea Salt 72% Dark Handcrafted Bar

The Chocolate:  The Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Bar is a bean-to-bar chocolate from an award-winning chocolate factory on Oahu.  These Hawaiian salt crystals add the perfect savory touch to the rich 72% dark chocolate.  Each bar is crafted from ethically sourced cacao and the highest quality ingredients.  These chocolate bars are so special we have also paired them with our Kai Hawaiian Aromatherapy in a gift collection.

The Story of Salt:  Pa'akai is Hawaiian for salt from the sea.  In ancient Hawai‘i, sea salt was used in food preservation, religious & ceremonial purposes, and as medicine. Salt was collected from rocky shoreline pools, and on a larger scale Hawaiians harvested salt from man-made clay ponds; a method still practiced today. These Hawaiian salt crystals add the perfect savory touch to our rich dark chocolate.

The Story of Cacao: Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. with a climate appropriate for cultivating the tropical fruit tree Theobroma Cacao. Bean to Bar is a movement in the chocolate industry where the finest quality dried beans are crafted into chocolate under one roof.  As well as emphasizing quality over quantity, bean to bar chocolate makers like Manoa are defined by direct trade with cacao farms across the world, paying socially responsible prices.
