KokoMana is an informative tour where you’ll see ‘chocolate magic’ worked among giant raintrees in a peaceful forested valley just a couple of miles from Savusavu town. Neat rows of carefully tended cocoa trees are set in a diverse ‘agroforestry’ system that includes over thirty other species of trees and shrubs. Guides explain the various Pacific crops and trees and how the system works for a healthier environment as well as producing fine-flavour cocoa. Taste the sweet fruity pulp from a ripe cocoa pod and understand the process (part culinary art and part science) of transforming beans into fine chocolate. Each step is described from fermentation through to the final step of ‘tempering’ the molten chocolate by hand on a stone table to give it the gloss and ‘snap’ of a fine chocolate bar. Taste the different flavours and purchase this delicious chocolate to take home!
