Like Cacao, Kumara originally came from South America, travelling west across the Pacific after being traded through the islands and landing in Aotearoa (New Zealand) with Maori.
In this chocolate we have used Kumara crisps from our friends Ned and Mina at Proper Crisps. Proper make their crisps using seasonally selected varieties, mostly Red Kumara (Owairaka), Gold Kumara (Toka Toka) and Orange Kumara (Beauregard).
We have paired the Kumara with our smooth Ecuador cacao allowing the delicate, sweet Kumara flavour to shine through.
