Waialua Chocolate Hawaii

Waialua Chocolate Factory workers cutting open the Coco Pods farmed from a 20 acres field near by. The Beans are removed by hand from the Coco Pods and fermented in wooden barrels. Then left in the drying racks till they are ready. The next step happens in a factory off site.

The hills around the waialua sugar mill are planted with coffee and Coco Trees.I think it is around 20 acers of chocolate in Waialua. If you are a resident of Hawaii or a visitor this is a fun and of the beaten path
thing to do on Oahu.
The Chocolate Factory is right behind a a gift store and if you look out the back door you can sneek a peek at the chocolate Factory.
