Hi Eric - if you don't accept what I wrote (which was referenced as clearly as I could manage), then I suppose nothing further I say will convince you. Nevertheless, I do stand by what I wrote, and would point out that I did also explain (and refer…

Most memorable chocolate experience:
All though I was not in a rainforest, I really enjoyed my visit to a small cacao plantation in Kona, Hawaii. Seeing the pods on the tree was very exciting to me.

Brady Hi, I would like to ask your permission to use one of your photos. I'm building a website about cacao and chocolate. It is going to be very visual, i.e. large photos and little text. Among your pictures are a few that are simply stunning! If you are not against it, please write to my email iiamimo@gmail.com Many thanks, Ivica

Aloha, we are a small company, this year we are only making chocolate for Kauai, we have over 4000 tree starts that will hopefully get in the ground soon, when these trees mature in 3 to 4 years will have enough chocolate for export.

Thanks for your help. I have a client that owns several hotels and an airline in Hawaii and they wish to buy my product but only if I can make it with Hawaiian cacao.

Thanks and by the way, chocolate alchemy is a great source but they don't have half as many varieties as what I offer and John's prices are much higher. However, it is a great source of info.

Thanks again

Hello, you mentioned that you had been at a plantation in Kona, do you know if it is possible to purchase cacao from some plantations out there and have them sent here for making bean to bar?

Hi Brady.
I have 2 lines of bars. There are 9 bars in the Escazu line, which have various flavors, and are 3.5 oz. The Ocumare bar that you have is one that I make from the bean under the EZCA line. Currently I am only selling those bars online, in my shop, and at Fog City News in San Francisco. How did you come across the bar? I hope that you enjoyed it.

Thank you so very much for clarifying the matter. I certainly didn't want to be accused of "Pulp Fiction." I don't recall if I offered to send you my Excel sheet of bars I've collected. If you want it, then perhaps you can point out some that I've overlooked? Just need your email - jay @ diecast.org.
