Our philosophy at Honoka’a Chocolate Company is centered around two things: great chocolate and sustainability. That’s why one of our core missions is the training and development of farmers and land owners throughout the Hawaiian Islands in an effort to teach them how to grow and process world class cacao. We share our craft because we believe it’s important to maintain Hawaii’s agriculture for generations to come.

Offering unique craft chocolate is what Honoka’a Chocolate Company is all about. We are excited to announce our new line of Barrel Aged and Infused Chocolates, starting with our infused Rum Bar. This special chocolate is created by infusing roasted and winnowed nibs with spirits and allowing them to age in a white oak barrel over time. Once dry, the nibs are used to make chocolate that includes subtle tastes of the infused rum. We’ll be announcing new batches soon, including those made with rum, tequila, scotch and more.

Happy National BEER Day! A few Hawaii breweries who have used our cacao parchment or cacao nibs include Big Island Brewhaus, Beer Lab HI, and Hana Koa Brewing Co. Looking forward to future collaBREWations! Cheers!

Mahalo Makana Music for stopping by to purchase our 70% Pure Hawaiian Chocolate! Makana (whose name means a gift given freely) is a brilliant and outspoken slack key guitar player and singer. You may have heard his music on the Academy-Award winning film The Descendants, but his artistic legacy spans much earlier than that, performing professionally by the age of 14. We first saw Makana perform in 2009 at the 2nd Annual Slack Key Festival in Redondo Beach with Cyril Pahinui, Jeff Peterson, Jim Kimo West, John Keawe, Barry Flanagan, and the group Maunalua. Take a moment to listen to and feel Makana’s music and any of these other slack key guitarist greats.
