Guava, introduced to Hawai‘i during Western contact in the 1700s, has become the islands’ most prolific wild fruit. Its uniquely sweet and tart flavor, often likened to a mix of strawberry and pear, is a local favorite, enjoyed fresh, as juice, and in jellies and jams. Inspired by Hawai‘i’s vibrant culinary traditions, we’ve focused on crafting flavors that celebrate this rich heritage. At global chocolate festivals, it’s exotic creations like Manoa Chocolates Liliko‘i x Passion Fruit bar that leave people saying, “WOW, that’s different!”
In July 2023, Manoa Chocolate introduced a small batch of their Kuawa x Guava bars, combining guava’s distinct flavor with our commitment to crafting something exotic, Hawai‘i-centric, and utterly delicious. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and they are making this a permanent part of their collection.
