Manoa

Manoa Chocolate is a Hawaiian bean-to-bar chocolate maker founded in 2010 on the island of Oʻahu. The name “Manoa” reflects the Hawaiian values of being solid, vast, and deep – principles that guide their commitment to quality, sustainability, and community.

The company crafts all its chocolate in-house, from bean to bar, allowing for meticulous control over every step, from roasting to tempering. They ethically source cacao beans directly from farmers in Hawaii, fostering long-term relationships based on trust and quality. By eliminating intermediaries, Manoa ensures farmers receive fair compensation for their crops.

Manoa Chocolate embraces the Hawaiian concept of Aloha Āina, meaning “love of the land.” They are dedicated to transforming Hawaiian agriculture by promoting reforestation and sustainable business practices, ensuring that the land continues to thrive and support future generations.

Through their products and practices, Manoa Chocolate aims to leave the world better than they found it, creating delicious chocolate that reflects the rich flavors and values of Hawaii.
