Firetree Solomon Islands Guadalcanal 100% Dark Chocolate 70g

A 70g bar of 100% cocoa with nothing else in it, made from bean to bar by Firetree in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, from beans grown on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.

100% bars can be harsh and dry. This one is smoother because Firetree roasts the whole beans in their shells, slowly and at a low heat, which takes the harshness out. The maker describes a smell of baked brownie and a taste of rich cocoa, sticky dates, mild black tea and red fruit. There is no sugar, so it is not sweet, but it is smooth. It won a Great Taste award in 2024.

The beans come mainly from a farmer called Diana, who grows cocoa among durian and lemon trees on the north coast near Honiara. Eat it a square at a time with a strong coffee, or grate it into a chilli or a chocolate cake. For a gentler start, the Firetree Tasting Bar Gift Box includes a small version of this bar alongside six others, and Chocolarder Pure Dark 100% from Cornwall makes an interesting comparison.

Vegan, with no added sugar.
