Valley Isle 70% Dark Chocolate Bar with Hawaiian Macadamia Nuts

40 gram bar - Maui, Hawaii

This bar pairs Valley Isle Chocolate’s silky 70% dark chocolate with one of Hawaii’s most beloved ingredients: macadamia nuts. The chocolate itself is crafted on Maui using cacao from the Costa Esmeraldas Cacao Company orchard in Esmeraldas, Ecuador, then finished with Big Island–grown macadamia nuts and a touch of Alaea red Hawaiian sea salt.

Tasting this bar, the salinity of the red sea salt awakens the palate in waves, followed by the rich cacao. Macadamia nuts bring a light crunch with the natural butteriness of the Hawaiian nut. The beautiful sea salt comes back in waves, lapping at your senses.

This bar earned a Silver Medal at the 2025 Academy of Chocolate Awards, and it’s easy to understand the appeal. For me, it’s the kind of chocolate that feels both indulgent and comforting—rich dark chocolate, crunchy macadamias, and just the right touch of Hawaiian salt.
