Kahalu'u O'ahu 70%

The Kahalu'u O'ahu 70% is crafted by Palette de Bine, a bean-to-bar maker located in Canada. The producer operates on a small scale, prioritizing the specific characteristics of the cocoa beans over high-volume output. By maintaining direct control over the transformation process from bean to finished bar, the maker highlights the distinct qualities inherent in the cacao harvested from the Kahalu'u region of Oahu.

The sensory experience of this bar is defined by a 70% cacao composition, resulting in a profile that balances bright acidity with sweetness. Tasters often note layers of tropical fruit and citrus, which are grounded by a lingering caramel finish. This profile is achieved using a minimal ingredient list consisting only of cocoa beans and organic cane sugar, allowing the nuances of the Hawaiian origin to remain the central focus.

Attention to production detail extends to the dietary considerations for this bar. Each 70-gram portion is manufactured without the use of nuts or soy. While the facility adheres to strict production standards, the label notes that the product may contain trace amounts of milk.
