Firetree – Milk & Dark Chocolate Thins

About the thins

These Firetree milk and dark chocolate thins are for when you want the best of both worlds, and can’t decide between the elegant thins of creamy milk chocolate or the delicate discs of dark. The best option is to choose both.

The thins come in a box of around 25 thins. The 40% milk discs are smooth and creamy, with lingering notes of caramel and a mild citrus note. The 72% rich dark chocolate thins have notes of white grape, cherry and lemon.

About the maker

Firetree’s founders, David Zulman and Martyn O’Dare, have a wealth of chocolate expertise and passion. David ran a large confectionery business in his native South Africa before coming to the UK.   And Martyn spent many years setting up factories all over the world for both Cargill and Cocoa Barry (and most recently a new craft chocolate factory set for launch in Madagascar).  Back in 2017 they joined forces and determined to create a unique small batch, single estate craft chocolate company in the UK.

The beans

The beans used to make the 40% dark chocolate thins are sourced from the island of Guadalcanal, nestled in the heart of the Solomon Islands. Honiara is the Capital of the Solomon Islands and main port for all exports, including cocoa, coconut, and tuna. The cocoa trees grow in this rich volcanic soil, protected from the midday sun beneath high coconut palms.

The beans used to produce the dark chocolate thins originate from the volcanic island, Malekula, in Vanuatu. Grown in volcanic soil, the cocoa has complex set of specific flavours, including lemon, white grape and cherry.
