Manoa – Guava 70%

$14.95

Guava was introduced to Hawai‘i during initial Western contact in the 1700s. It has spread rapidly and is now considered the Hawaiian islands’ most prolific wild fruit. Guava’s flavor is uniquely tart and sweet, commonly described as a hybrid between a strawberry and a pear. In Hawai‘i the fruit is predominately consumed fresh, in the form of juice, and in jellies and jams. Over the years we’ve gravitated our focus on inclusion flavors that tap into the unique cuisine that Hawai’i is known for. When attending chocolate festivals around the world, it’s exotic flavors like our Liliko’i x Passion Fruit bar that continues to stop people in their tracks and say, “WOW, that’s different!”. This lead us back to the lab inspired to create something exotic, Hawai’i centric, and most importantly; DELICIOUS, that captivates people’s attention and taste buds. We created a small batch of Kuawa x Guava bars back in July of 2023 and have been selectively introducing the flavor to the public through various channels. We are so happy with the feedback we’ve received and are really proud to have this flavor as a permanent part of our collection. It’s now online for the first time and here to stay. If you haven’t tried it yet, we can’t wait for you to do so. As always, we would love to hear your thoughts. Aloha and happy tasting!

Manoa Chocolate Hawaii craft high quality chocolate using sustainable techniques. As well as sourcing quality beans from around the world, they also use cacao grown in Hawaii. Hawaii is the only US state to grow cacao, and the deep flavours reflect the special characteristics of the geography and climate in which it is grown.Manoa improve the profit potential of local farmers and provide opportunities for employment in the local community. They have created some amazing machines from recycled items – they roast using a custom bbq and remove the cacao shells with pedal power and a vacuum. See more
