From plummy fruits to soft citrus, the rich tapestry of flavour notes in our Solomon Islands chocolates are a delight to explore.

With over 900 small islands and several active volcanoes, The Solomons are rich in volcanic soil with a temperate, sub-tropical climate that lends itself to the growing of quality cocoa beans. 

Sourced directly from our farmers on Guadalcanal, the largest island, and the forested island of Makira, our single-estate Solomon Island chocolates are as layered and complex as this vast archipelago.

  • Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal 40% Milk Chocolate 70g Bar
  • Two Solomon Islands, Makira Island 75% Dark Chocolate 70g Bars
  • Two Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal 82% Dark Chocolate 70g Bars
  • Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal 100% Cocoa 25g Tasting Bar

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.
