Malie Kai Hawaiian Waialua Estate 55% Cacao

Strong, flavorful chocolate, particularly for a 55% cocoa bar. Fruity, dare I imagine some pineapple notes? The bar breaks crisply and melts slowly in the mouth. An excellent chocolate. 8.5

This is the first Hawaiian chocolate that I've tasted (for that matter, it's the first I've ever seen). I bought this bar at Chocolate Covered, and as I recall it was very pricy for a small bar (1.5 oz.).

From the label:

"Waialua Estate chocolate is grown on Oahu's North Shore -- famous for its spectacular beaches and world-class surfing. Here the tropical sun and rich volcanic soil create the perfect micro-climate for cacao. One of the finest and rarest chocolate available, Waialua Estate chocolate is certain to make its mark on the world. Now you can savor history in the making."
