Producer Story:
Located off the north-east coast of Papua New Guinea,
Karkar’s fertile ground is exceptionally productive, and
Kulkul Cocoa Plantation is nestled into the slopes of the volcano
itself high above the black sand beaches.
The main crops cultivated on Karkar are coconuts and cacao. Farmers
plant them together so the palms give shade to the smaller cacao
trees below them.
Using traditional methods, beans are dried in small kilns using
heat from wood fires. This cacao is full bodied and intensely
flavoured.
