Where does the cacao come from?
Tucked away in the South Pacific lies Malekula, the second-largest island of the Vanuatu archipelago. In the heart of this remote island, reachable only by a single track, a small cocoa-farming village produces one of the rarest cacaos in the world. The quantities grown are so limited they barely register on global production scales – making Malekula cocoa a true hidden gem.
Malekula offers ideal natural conditions for growing fine cacao: a consistently warm and humid tropical climate, frequent rainfall, and rich volcanic soils that are porous, fertile, and well-drained. Combined with fresh ocean air and a forested environment, these elements form a unique terroir that nurtures exceptionally flavorful beans.
The cocoa from Malekula is known for its complex flavor profile – often fruity, mildly nutty, and elegantly layered. Traditional fermentation and sun-drying methods practiced by local farmers help preserve the bean’s natural characteristics, resulting in a chocolate with true origin taste. Every bite is a journey to a place so remote, it feels like it belongs to another world.
