An 80% dark chocolate bar featuring cacao beans soaked in Hawaiian Agricole Rum, offering distinct notes of rum, oak, and molasses.
The KŌ HANA RUM bar is a notable creation that integrates spirits with cacao. This 80% dark chocolate bar is crafted by soaking raw cacao beans in Kō Hana Hawaiian Agricole Rum before the roasting process takes place. This specific technique allows the cacao to absorb the spirit, establishing a foundation for the bar's character.
During production, the ingredients are refined using a melanger. This process ensures the texture integrates the rum-infused beans with organic cane sugar and additional cocoa butter. The result is a profile defined by prominent notes of rum, oak, and molasses, reflecting the influence of the sugarcane-based spirit on the final product.
The execution of this bar has garnered industry recognition. It achieved success at the International Chocolate Awards, earning silver honors at both the World and Americas levels in 2019. Each bar is portioned at 60 grams.
