It is a little misleading to call Karkar an island, as it is in fact one large volcano. 60 miles across, and visible from over 50 miles away. But the rich soil you find here on the sides of the volcano is ideal for growing the finest cocoa, with its bold flavors, reminiscent of dates, walnut and red fruits.

Maker
FiretreeFiretree Chocolate is dedicated to crafting rare, single estate chocolate with a true sense of place. They source their cocoa from small, remote volcanic islands in the South Pacific and Madagascar, where the mineral-rich soil creates some of the most distinctive taste notes in the world. The name “Firetree” comes from the cocoa tree’s flame-colored pods, and from its base in Cambridgeshire, England, the company follows a meticulous bean-to-bar process to preserve each origin’s character. Committed to fairness and sustainability, Firetree works directly with farmers or their co-ops, paying premiums that support communities and protect landscapes.


Cacao Region
Karkar, Papua New GuineaKarkar is an oval-shaped volcanic island located in the Bismarck Sea, about 20 miles north of mainland Papua New Guinea. In the center of the island is an active volcano, the last recorded eruption of which took place in 2014. Thanks to the fertile volcanic soil, Karkar easily grows cash crops such as betel nut, mustard plant, and lime, but the main exports are coconut and cacao. A single road runs around the entire length of the island.
The scents are ashy and spicy (I dare to say almost like Vietnam origin). The flavor is complex but not invasive. The ashy taste is always present with incredible wild mushroom notes as truffle mushroom (earthy, nutty, savory, oaky, sweet) followed by a slightly dairy background. You can think of a dark milk bar. Bitterness, astringency or acidity are absent. In the end, this bar sweet-talks to you about the volcanic soil it came from. A real "warm" aromatic tasting experience.
Excellent bar, some fruit, spice, hint of bitter overall highly recommend this one for a real treat.
Very rich fruity taste with no bitterness.
Not my favorite firetree
This was my first time trying Firetree and I would definitely want to taste more of their bars in the future for sure!
Nose of vanilla, truffle, earthy and spice.
Tastes of white grape, earthy, coconut water and very mild tobacco notes.
