A STORY OF THE VOLCANO
The long finish and lingering taste of our chocolate is thanks to our 'firetree', or cacao tree, which thrives on the uniquely rich, porous soils of remote volcanic islands. Firetree’s rare and superior cocoa beans yield a distinct depth and complexity that give each chocolate a distinct taste profile.

Questions We're often asked about luxury chocolate
Luxurious chocolate refers to high-quality chocolate that is made from premium-grade cocoa beans, often sourced from specific regions known for their superior cocoa. Firetree sources its cocoa from various lusciously green volcanic islands including Madagascar and the Philippines which is what makes our high-quality chocolate ‘volcanic’.
Luxurious chocolates often have a high cocoa content, which contributes to a richer flavour profile. Cocoa content is usually indicated on chocolate packaging as a percentage, with higher percentages indicating a more intense cocoa flavour.
Firetree’s luxurious premium chocolate is created to be savoured, allowing the unique taste profile of each cocoa origin to develop on the tongue.
Firetree’s Luxury chocolate differs from regular chocolate in several key aspects that contribute to its higher quality, premium taste, and overall luxurious experience:
Our luxury chocolates made in the UK use high-quality cocoa beans sourced from volcanic islands which are known for their superior flavour profiles. These beans are meticulously selected and processed to preserve their natural richness and complexity.
The production of luxury and premium chocolate involves precise and careful techniques, including expert roasting, grinding, and conching (a process that refines and smooths the chocolate). These techniques help develop the chocolate's flavour profile and ensure a velvety texture.
Firetree offers a multitude of premium luxury chocolates that use some of the world’s rarest cocoa beans from remote volcanic islands in the South Seas, Indian Ocean & The Caribbean.
Our chocolate ranges from 40% milk chocolate right up to 100% cocoa. One of our most innovative taste experiences is the 50% dark milk chocolate made with cocoa sourced from the depths of the Philippines. The farmers bring their years of expertise in harvesting and fermenting, resulting in this exquisite dark milk chocolate.
As well as our signature, single-origin chocolates, we also use coffee to create our cappuccino and espresso chocolates. And whilst Firetree is particularly known for its chocolate bars, we also make a range of thins, truffles and hot chocolate. We have a wide selection that is suitable for vegans, for Kosher and Halal needs and for those on a low or no-sugar diet.
Firetree also presents many of its products in giftable packaging and creates hampers and gift boxes that are perfect for gifting on any special occasion.
Storing luxury premium chocolate properly helps maintain its quality, flavour, and texture over time. Here are some tips on how to store high-quality chocolate effectively:
Store your Firetree luxury chocolate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Excessive heat can cause the chocolate to melt or lose its shape, while sunlight can lead to discolouration and affect the flavour.

In food technology, Lecithin is described as an emulsifier. It is a generic term used to describe a substance that is amphiphilic and assists in the stabilisation of two mediums that are normally immiscible.
What this means is it allows different ingredients to mix together that wouldn’t normally mix. The most common example is oil and water (e.g., to make margarine or mayonnaise). When making chocolate, it helps the ingredients mix together and stay in place. This makes the liquid luxury chocolate flow better during the manufacturing process.
Firetree Premium Chocolate uses only sunflower lecithin as it is both allergen-free and GMO-free.
Our main ingredient is cocoa solids and cocoa butter. We source all of our cocoa from remote volcanic islands in the South Seas, Indian Ocean & The Caribbean. We add unrefined cane sugar in different quantities depending on each cocoa's desired sweetness and the inherent taste notes. For our premium milk chocolates, we add milk powder to give the desired milkiness.
