Blessings are a sacred tradition in Hawaiian culture.
A Hawaiian minister Ā (Kahuna) invites goodness, harmony, love, peace and aloha into all things that are blessed. The Kahuna Alalani Astara HillĀ performs her traditional blessing on the ingredients before adding to every bar and so each chocolateĀ carries a Hawaiian blessing to you.
