Where does the cacao come from?

Karkar is a remote, rugged volcanic island off the north coast of Papua New Guinea – nearly circular in shape and accessible by just a single winding track. On the fertile slopes of an active volcano, the Goodyear and Middleton families cultivate cocoa with deep dedication. They are two of the island’s main employers, with many of their farm hands having worked there for generations. Entire families choose to stay and work with them, drawn by fair conditions and a strong sense of community.

The island’s terroir is truly unique: rich volcanic soils, abundant tropical rainfall, and a steady ocean breeze create ideal growing conditions. The cocoa trees benefit from a stable microclimate and mineral-rich earth, allowing them to mature slowly and develop complex, layered flavours.

Cocoa from Karkar Island is known for its vibrant profile – often with floral and fruity notes, balanced acidity, and a smooth, refined texture. Traditional fermentation and sun-drying on the farms help preserve the beans’ full aromatic potential. This is a cocoa origin that stands out not only for its flavour, but for the integrity and care behind every bean.
