Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts and Candies
Big Island Candies got its start in 1977. Their goal was to manufacture and market fine quality macadamia nut candy that uses 100% Hawaiian grown macadamia nuts. Since its founding, this is something that this company has successfully done.
With exquisite packaging and divine taste, it is no wonder that this chocolate tastes so wonderful. Plus, the manufacturers of Big Island Candies also pride themselves on the making of this candy, which also adds to the wonderful taste of this chocolate.
Hawaii Candy has been serving the islands since 1933. This is when Soichi Ohta, founder of the company, and his wife Kinuyo opened a small neighborhood factory. From there this company has blossomed. In 1941, Soichi went on to purchase the Nakano Candy Factory, which he then renamed the Ohta Candy Factory. Then in 1954 he purchased what is now known as Hawaii Candy. This company now has two locations: one on Liliha Street which sells both Senbei and candy and the other on Nuuanu which only sells candy. Regardless of the time or location, preserving the recipes and maintaining the quality of its products has always been a priority for Hawaii Candy. This is why only the finest and the freshest ingredients are used.
Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate can be proud of itself for numerous reasons:
1. Bill Gates insisted on serving this chocolate at his wedding
2. The Dalai Lama chose this to be the very first type of chocolate he ever tasted.
3. Emeril Lagasse featured this chocolate on his series ìEmeril Live.”
So, it is no wonder that the New York Times calls Hawaiian Chocolate “the best in the world.”

Cocoa is grown, handpicked, sun dried and processed by cacao growers on the Kona Coast. These manufacturers adhere to the highest standards of excellence before sending the cocoa to The Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory where it is made into pure Hawaiian chocolate.
Traditionally, chocolate is made by blending together cocoa beans from various geographical regions around the world. For this reason, Hawaii was faced with a great challenge: They had to figure out how to produce a chocolate that had excellent flavor, texture and taste while only utilizing cocoa beans that were grown in Hawaii itself. As such, Hawaii was the first place in the world to ever create this type of a chocolate. This is part of what makes Hawaiian chocolate so unique.
