I was told by one experienced Maitre chocolatier the chocolate from Hawaii was the best he has tasted so far... I believed him at once and I am sitll a believer :).
I wonder, if some oh your photograph would be available as caption...

I'd love to know more about your bars, I get a lot of requests for Hawaiian Chocolate in my store and like to support all of the farmers out there. That red pod picture is awesome!!

Did you get a chance to show the old Criollo tree to Chifumi Nagai or Ray Schnell when they were on Kauai a few weeks ago ? If not you can send dried leaves to Chifumi or me and we'll forward to Ray's lab. The red criollo in the picture you sent looks like the one we have on Oahu . Very straight tree. Looks like there are plenty of pods to harvest soon. As for the name it doesn't I don't recognize it.

I am a cocoa farmer in Brazil and I congratulate you on the excellence of your farms. I am very impressed at the quantity of fruit produced on the young trees.

My wife and I manage a cocoa farm that was established by her father more than 100 years ago and I dream of having cocoa production similar to yours.

What is the size of the farm and what are the ages of the trees displayed in your photos.

When checking that all was in order, Idiscovered that after a few seconds of barely looking at your album, the page jumps to the homesite of chocolatelife and does not stay on your album. Do you know any other way??
Thanks!

If this is not in order then no harm done - I completely understand. Thanks!

At 12:16am on October 6, 2008, Brady said…: Thanks for the offer to make a special order, but I was only inquiring if one of your regular items was pure chocolate available at the retail sites on your webpage. I'm not interested in the special order though since I only was looking to have someone pick up a very small quantity. I'm curious though, if your chocolate is as good as you say it is, why not let it stand alone, without coconuts and other ingredients? To me, that would be the best way to showcase the 'World's Best Chocolate". Thanks again for your responses.

At 8:15pm on October 5, 2008, Brady said…: Koa- I have people who can bring it back for me, but I am only interested in having them go out of their way to get it if it is pure chocolate without the coconuts or macadamia. So, do you sell anything that fits that description? Brady

At 11:05am on October 5, 2008, Brady said…: Koa- I love the idea of chocolate made from cacao grown in Hawaii. Do you have any offerings for pure dark bars without coconuts or macadamia? Also, in case you haven't seen it, Susie Norris posted a blog on Hawaii. Here's the link:
