The Ring Of Fire & Volcanoes
The remote islands of the southern pacific and oceania are part of what is known as “the ring of fire”. A circle of 452 volcanoes surrounding that ocean is where you will discover the Firetree, or cocoa tree, with its flame-hued pods. These trees thrive on the rich, porous volcanic soil found on these islands. It’s here and other volcanic places in the world (like Madagascar), where we source our cocoa from.
Using the experience and expertise of our local farmers, they wait until the cocoa pods ripen to perfection. The pods ripen when they are ready, and not all at the same time. So the farmers pass through the estate several times during harvest and pick only the pods that are perfectly ripe. Then it’s onto the fermentation of the cocoa beans. This is more of an art than a science and the best farmers can tell if they have fermented for long enough just using their sense of touch – and years of experience.
The beans are then sun dried before they’re sent to the chocolate factory where the skilled craftsmen roast, grind and conche the mixture. This brings out the cocoa’s sumptuous flavours, and helps create a rich volcanic chocolate.
Much like the grapes in winemaking, the cocoa beans from each of our estate partners have their own unique taste. Each variation we create, only uses cocoa from a single estate or farm holding. This allows you to enjoy the distinct tastes and nuances of each chocolate in the same way you might enjoy a range of fine wines.
