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 flavours, reminiscent of dates, walnut and red fruits.

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.
