Manoa Flavours of Hawaii: Sea Salt 70%

Cocoa Origin: United States
Producer Country: United States
Weight: 60 g

This bar is a tribute to Hawaii’s identity as a chain of islands, where salt is more than a seasoning—it’s a reflection of life surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. For centuries, paʻakai (sea salt) has been woven into Hawaiian culture, from food preservation to ceremonial traditions, with salt harvested from rocky shoreline pools and hand-crafted clay ponds still in use today. The cocoa here is something special too—think rich brownie batter and warm banana bread, underscored by purple plum and figgy jam. The subtle kiss of salt lifts every bite, keeping it refreshing and lighter than a typical 70%. This is one of those bars—the kind that turns casual curiosity into obsession. It’s where my own bean-to-bar journey began, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Hawaii is the only US state with a climate suitable for cultivating cacao trees and is home to a small but thriving craft chocolate scene. Since 2010, Manoa has been crafting bean-to-bar chocolate, primarily working with Hawaiian-grown cocoa. The name "Mānoa" is derived from the Hawaiian word meaning solid, vast, and deep—a fitting representation of the company's commitment to quality and sustainability. By buying directly from local farmers, Manoa has established long-lasting relationships and, by cutting out intermediaries, pays much higher rates while providing hands-on support to the farmers. Their beans are grown on two principal house-run estates, but they collaborate with seven more across Hawaii. They have also developed a line called “Flavours of Hawaii,” which showcases locally grown ingredients that are deeply relevant to Hawaii’s society and cuisine, offering a taste of the islands' rich cultural and culinary heritage.

Oʻahu, the most populous and third-largest of the Hawaiian Islands, lies at the northern tip of the archipelago. Its vibrant heart is Honolulu, the state capital, which is home to nearly 70% of Hawaii's 1.5 million residents. The island stretches 71 km in length and 48 km in width, featuring two distinct shield volcanoes: the Waiʻanae and Koʻolau Ranges, separated by the central Oʻahu Plain. Famous for its tourism industry, Oʻahu draws over five million visitors annually to its pristine white sand beaches and clear waters. Inhabited since the 3rd century A.D., its modern population reflects a blend of modern American culture with the enduring traditions of the Native Hawaiian people. This vibrant mix creates a unique contrast between ancient heritage and contemporary life, embodying Hawaii's essence as a cultural crossroads and a paradise for residents and visitors alike.
