Then, dive into cacao’s rich journey —from its ancient roots in South America to its thriving Hawaiian legacy.
Taste fresh cacao fruit varieties, each telling the story of cacao’s global voyage.
Then, uncover a well-kept secret: the rare, sweet nectar of the cacao fruit, cherished by its discoverers long before chocolate existed.
