Philippines, Mindanao Island 73% Chocolate Thins
The Philippines is the only one of our cocoa origins in the northern hemisphere. The small island of Mindanao boasts the ideal combination of tropical rainforest and volcanic soil for growing a cocoa with a distinctive chocolate flavour complimented by layers of citrus, honey and caramel notes.
We believe that chocolate thins really are the perfect way to enjoy superior chocolate and we're certain ours won't disappoint.

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.
