Firetree – Mindanao Island, Philippines, Dark 73% Thins

About the thins

Firetree’s Mindanao Island dark chocolate thins come in a box of 25, and are the perfect gift to bring along to a dinner party (or better yet, as a gift to yourself)! They’re gently rich, and have a citrus and caramel flavour profile with pleasing hints of honey and fig.

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 farmers of Mindanao Island have the ideal combination of tropical rainforest and volcanic soil. Much of the cocoa is grown on small family farms under the shade of coconut and plantain trees; the small harvests are then combined for fermentation and drying, which makes the post-harvest process easier (and more profitable) for everyone involved.
