7 VillagesOur cocoa comes from seven remote villages across the Solomon Islands.
Naturally Fermented • Single Origin • Ethically Sourced
Seven Villages. Seven Rivers. Seven Days.
Our cocoa comes from communities and villages made up of seven remote villages across the Guadalcanal and Malaita provinces in the Solomon Islands. Farmers then cross rugged terrain seven rivers to bring their harvest to life, giving each batch its own unique story.
Through traditional knowledge and seven days of natural fermentation and seven days of sun drying, we create a cocoa with exceptional flavour that supports our communities and honours our land.

Supporting families within farming communities
Our Solomon Islands cacao is part of a project from ADRA International. ADRA has worked with the farmers of these villages on growing, fermentation and post-harvest techniques, with a focus on sustainable cocoa crops, techniques such as pruning, grafting, crop management, assistance with fermentation box construction and drying facilities, and providing a channel to market for them. This all results in high quality and flavourful cacao beans, and boosted incomes for families within the farming communities.
The premium prices families are now receiving for their cacao has already had a wide range of benefits. Some are now able to send their children to high school while simultaneously starting to save funds. Others are now able to reinvest in their farms, while other farms are seeing younger farmers take over from older family members as cacao becomes more valuable and rewarding to grow.
