Lavaloha
Chocolate and Adventure
We're a 1000 acre farm just outside Hilo.
We offer tree-to-chocolate tours and a farm store featuring our chocolate and locally made goods.
Hand-crafted with our Hawaii grown cacao, this single origin dark chocolate bar delivers an elevated tasting experience. Featuring notes of subtle fruits and a remarkably clean finish with no bitterness.
This bar also won Silver in the 2024 Academy of Chocolate Awards!

Rebuilding, Recovery and Collaborations:
We are filled with gratitude as we share this update with you. Recovery from the recent fire has been a journey, and your support has meant the world to us. While we continue on our recovery plans, our passion for creating exceptional Hawaiian chocolate is stronger than ever. The resilience of this community and this land has inspired us to cultivate new ideas and partner with friends who share our values.
Today, we are thrilled to introduce the fruits of these partnerships! We have two exclusive collaborations that blend our Hawai’i grown cacao with the expertise of award-winning chocolate makers!
Eldora Chocolate:
We’ve also partnered with Eldora Chocolate out of New Mexico.
Partnering with Eldora allows us to showcase the versatility of our cacao through their specialized, small batch, bean-to-bar craftsmanship. Eldora’s dedication to ethical sourcing and unique flavor profiling brings out rich, nuanced notes in our cacao that most won’t want to miss.
Manoa Chocolate:
We are proud to team up with Manoa Chocolate from O’ahu to bring you two exceptional bars! With the last of our 2025 beans Manoa created two bars for us: 50% Milk Chocolate and 70% Dark Chocolate. These bars are a testament to our local industry of cacao growers and chocolate makers and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
Mahalo for Growing With Us!
Every bar purchased directly supports our ongoing rebuilding efforts and helps keep local, sustainable cacao framing thriving in Hawai’i. From the bottom of our hearts, mahalo for growing and rebuilding with us. Keep an eye out for our Lavaloha branded bars too!

Being an off-grid chocolate farm, we aren’t able to operate big packaging machines. But who needs those when we have Lacy!
At the end of the video, you see her “normal” pace when packaging which is still faster than some machines out there! 😄🍫
