| Maker Comments | The oldest cocoa plantings in the South Pacific exist in Samoa and Vanuatu. The Vanatu cocoa farms date back to the late 19th century, where they were established as a plantation crop on Espiritu Santo with Amelonado cocoa sourced from Java or Papua New Guinea. The pronounced acidity and smokiness point to the use of wood fired dryers used to remove moisture from the beans before shipping. Light and fruity but with interesting hammy notes (as in smoked ham). |
| Comments | Good chocolate, but strange smoked flavor. |
