Rusty's Hawaiian
My Manoa makes chocolate bean-to-bar by their hand at their factory in Kailua. Cacao is supplied by Hawaiian farmers in Hamakua (Big Island), Waiahole, Maunawili and Haiku (Windward Oahu). Chocolate-making is an emerging industry in Hawaii, thus local bean supply will be limited until more farmers catch on. So they also source from Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Madagascar and Liberia. The taste of cacao varies with the location where it is grown.
Besides making high quality and delicious chocolate, Manoa Chocolate Hawaii dedicate to the establishment of a Hawaiian brand cacao as a premium commodity, improves the profit potential of local farmers. Hawaii is the only state in the U.S that grows cacao. Cacao trees produce beans, roasted beans become cacao nibs. Manoa Chocolate Hawaii crafts them into delicious dark chocolate bars.
By the way did you wonder why “Manoa” chocolate even though there are located in Kailua? If you know Hawaii, you might think of Oahu’s deepest, widest valley on Oahu when you hear the word “Manoa”. This beautiful Hawaiian word means “solid, vast, depth, thickness”, thus an appropriate name for the valley.
