Harvesting Hawaiian Cacao at Waialua Estate Waialua Estate’s Hawaiian cacao is grown along the banks of the Kaukonahua stream in rich, fertile and sweet soil that provides an exceptional “terroir.” Not only will you taste bright banana and pineapple notes, you will then move into flavors of dark cherry, berry and raisins.

Waialua Estate’s cacao trees are a special blend of Criollo, Trinatario and Forestero varieties sourced from some of the finest cacao estates in the world. And with our years of expertise in the fermentation and drying of cocoa beans, we provide all the key elements for flavor enhancement.

WAIALUA ESTATE CHOCOLATE
1. In the past, the growing of cacao had been limited to a belt of 20 degrees north or south of the equator. But at 21-22 degrees latitude, Waialua Estate on the North Shore of Oahu is now breaking that rule and cacao is becoming an important crop for Dole Food Co. Hawaii
2. Chocolate contains over 600 flavor compounds, which give off its distinct aroma, according to the American Chemical Society. In comparison, red wine is reported to only have around 200 flavor compounds.
3. Nothing heals the soul like chocolate – subjective fact.
4. Kokoleka is the Hawaiian word for chocolate.
5. Our 80-acre Waialua cacao orchard was planted in 1996.
6. Fermentation of the cocoa bean – which includes the use of the fruit or pulp – is a less understood but critical a step in the process.
7. From the cacao pod, the raw cocoa beans represent about 25% of the fruit. After fermenting and drying the bean, you’re left with roughly 35% of that. Then the dried beans are, roasting, which reduces the moisture and therefore more weight. And another 20+ percent is lost in winnowing or removal of the shell. All that and we didn’t even start making chocolate yet!
8. New research indicates that chocolate may enhance cognitive brain function.
9. Waialua Chocolate is known for its dark tones of cherries, blackberries and raisin overtones.
