First there was wine, then cheese, and next chocol

First there was wine, then cheese, and next chocolate was in the mix way back in 2010!
We were pioneers in bringing retail specialty cheese to Maui, and our philosophy was to make people feel comfortable with something so new to the island...that is how Who Cut The Cheese came to be. "It was a place for those people seeking sophisticated product in a fun and friendly environment." This philosophy translates beautifully in the world of single origin chocolates! It is clearly demonstrated in many aspects of the tour, but especially so with our creative self-designed tasting wheel, "Having Fun with Chocolate"!
Education has always been the key to sales. Yes, retail sales are a great goal, but providing a #unique fun and educational experience is pivotal! See you SOON!•

Aloha! E Komo Mai! Today Hawaii is opening doors

Aloha! E Komo Mai! Today Hawaii is opening doors with aloha to visitors from the U.S. mainland. This photo is from a tasting we did last year at @kiheicaffe for conceirges, so it doesn't represent our farm tour in the least. However, we do take our chocolate on the road, and guests can request me as a private "chocolate sommelier". Though I don't have the credentials as the real chocolate sommeliers @canadianchocoholic, I am a jungle-trained chocolate enthusiast with years of chocolate/coffee/vanilla/farm tours and rudimentary chocolate making demonstrations under my belt. Come celebrate "Chocotober" (correction from Monday's post) and learn about and play with chocolate in the fresh open air at @kupa'afarms where our tours are hosted! A hui hou!⁠

This cacao blossom was posted Dec 31, 2019 with a caption of what a promising year 2020 was going to be. LOL!!! By re-posting this photo it illustrates what it is like to relaunch the business. Blossoming for the best! Hawaii will be opening the islands for trans-Pacific travellers this coming Friday, 10/15. As posted before, visitors PLEASE, respect our health guidelines and safety. In return, all Hawaii residents, PLEASE, remember to practice ALOHA! E Komo Mai!⁠

It's that time of year! Chocober and Spooky season

It's that time of year! Chocober and Spooky season! Yes, first there was cheese and wine at Who Cut The Cheese for October...trick or cheese! Now we have the real deal to celebrate Halloween all month long and everyday...CHOCOLATE!!! ⁠
⁠
Come take advantage of our affordably priced private tours, and enjoy learning how the dark chocolate is made. This year will be the first time guests will get to taste this goof ball's chocolate! Friends' (my biggest critics) reviews have been pretty amazing, so you'll just have to come find out for yourselves and to see if Willy Wonka shows up on Halloween!!! Please note and remember, we offer farm/chocolate/coffer tours, and we are not a chocolate factory! There is a huge one in Lahaina, so check them out too.⁠

Warming cocoa nibs prior to hitting the melanger for their final journey to becoming chocolate 24 - 38 hours later! Cocoa nibs, organic sugar and cocoa butter...that's it! The vanilla beans from Kupa'a Farms are going for a fall nap in brandy, so we'll have our own vanilla extract by 2021! Yay!!!

Crack, Winnow, and Grind dance! If you've been following, today's post will briefly describe the demonstration table. Awww, no video....practice your reading skills! Lol!🍫 From right to left: Crankenstein, the cacao bean cracker; shallow bowl in front is where we place the cracked beans with shells, and then blow the shells by shaking bowl and using a blow dryer so the shells fly, due to that they are lighter than the cocoa nibs. Blow until "nibalicious ".
🍫Nibs are placed in the meat grinder (never processed meat!) to help release cocoa butter and make nibs smaller for the melanger. For demonstration purposes we use a mocajete (Spanish for mortar and pestle). Refining chocolate can take 24 - 48 hours for artisan chocolate. Guests maybe become antsy waiting for the final product, therefore, for immediate gratification and educational purposes we brew the blend of nibs assorted, spices, and coconut sugar for the delectable Ancient Mayan hot chocolate brew. The big differences are no milk added and addition of sugar which the indigenous folks had neither of these items
🍫We steep the brew for approximately 3 - 4 minutes with hot, not boiling, water. Let's not forget the dash of vanilla extract, and soon the vanilla will be sourced from Kupa'a Farms!
🍫That's it for the demonstration segment. When you join our live tour, starting afforable privates October on Sunday, Wed, and Saturday s at 1pm, you will also sample 7 global chocolates from different latitudes with different attitudes (thank you Jimmy B!). Debuting will be my very own inagural seed to chocolate bar! I am beyond excited for people to sample it! Come join in on all the educational fun with your own private"bubble"!•

"Why should the tourists have all the fun?!" A great slogan from a travel agency decades ago..."Didi Aio (sp?) and away we go!" We should all be enjoying our island to the fullest, so we may happily greet visitors with aloha when they play by and respect Hawaii's travel requirements. Travel wisely and respectfully. Mahalo! Yes, that's me flying with my friend Armin @hangglidingmaui! Woo hoo! Flight of a lifetime!
