Explore The Solomon Islands

Our Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal cocoa beans are known to be bright and citrusy with notes of red fruit and baked berries.

When blended with milk for our beautifully balanced milk chocolate bar, the result is caramel aromas with rich honey and and a subtle fruity overtone.

At 69% cocoa, the result is a joyous swirling notes of red fruit, lemon and plum whilst in our newly awarded 82% cocoa you will experience a rich red fruit nose, a bright citrus note is joined by just-ripe red fruit and baked tart berries.

To sample the 100% cocoa is to experience all those notes in their purest form - baked chocolate brownie on the nose with notes of rich cocoa, sticky date, mellow black tea and red fruit.

Although part of the same archipelago, our Solomon Islands, Makira beans yield a dark chocolate with a wine-like, rich raisin aroma and layered taste experience of ripe grapefruit, sweet honey and toasted almonds.

Our single-estate cocoa farm in Guadalcanal is truly a family affair. With husband and wife team and the farmer's four sisters all playing a part in the family business from finance to fermentation.

Like all of our farmers, they are committed to solar-drying the cocoa beans to preserve their delicate and complex flavours. Fortunately, this happens only metres from the main houses as showery squalls often interrupt the process and someone must be on standby to rush out and cover the beans.

Further south on the island of Makira, Lucy owns and runs her own cocoa farm and exclusively hires only women, giving them an opportunity of steady, reliable income.

The quality of her crop is outstanding and trading directly with Firetree has allowed Lucy to fund university education in Australia for her two daughters. They've since returned to the island ready to take over the family business once Lucy wants to retire.
