help Manoa Chocolate FAQ

Is Mānoa Chocolate actually made in Mānoa?

Despite the name, Mānoa Chocolate makes its bars at its factory in Kailua on Oʻahu. The company says mānoa can mean "solid," "vast," or "depth," qualities it associates with fine cacao.

Does Mānoa Chocolate use only Hawaiian cacao?

No. It buys cacao from Hawaiian areas such as Kona, Waimānalo, and Haleʻiwa, but it also works with producers in countries including Ecuador, Tanzania, and Uganda.

Can visitors watch Mānoa Chocolate make its bars?

Yes. Its Kailua factory experience covers steps such as roasting, refining, grinding, tempering, and molding, while its separate Oʻahu farm tour focuses on growing, fermenting, and drying cacao.

Are Mānoa Chocolate dark bars dairy-free or gluten-free?

Many dark and Hawaiian single-origin bars contain no dairy, and most products contain no gluten ingredients. However, Mānoa Chocolate processes milk and occasional gluten ingredients on shared premises, so it does not promise zero cross-contact.
