Much like the grapes in winemaking, the cocoa beans from each estate we partner have their own unique taste.
These delicate flavours are what make our chocolate so distinctive. So, each variation we create only uses cocoa from a single estate or farmholding. This allows you to enjoy the distinct tastes and nuances of each chocolate in the same way you might enjoy a fine wine.
But our dedication to creating the perfect taste doesn’t stop here. We make sure that we use the exact percentage of cocoa for each variation, depending on which estate the cocoa comes from: not too little and not too much. It means you can experience the subtle flavours and overtones of each individual variety of cocoa to the very full.
Our distinctive chocolate taste.
As commercial cocoa is relatively recent in the Philippines, it is still made up of multi-crop small holders where they grow cocoa alongside a whole host of crops, mainly for the local market – think pineapple, coconut, and yams. There are more cooperatives in the Philipps as each farmer doesn’t produce enough beans to build a fermentary.
Mindanao is the southernmost main island in the Philippines group, just inside the “Goldilocks zone” 10 degrees either side of the equator. It is Firetree’s only cocoa origin North of the Equator. The cocoa we buy directly from our farmer grows on the slopes between Mount Apo and Davao city in the fertile tropical rainforest-like conditions.
