Fiji's First Kava & Dark Chocolate pairing event by Vanua Chocolate

NADI, Fiji - June 22, 2020 - PRLog -- Vanua Chocolate, premium chocolate makers based in Wqadra, Nadi are set to organize Fiji's first Kava and dark chocolate pairing event.  Dark chocolate has several health benefits based on a very high level of antioxidants. Unique to Fiji is Kava, a traditional drink of ages, a root plant with the scientific name Piper methysticum , The root of the plant is used to produce a drink with sedative, anesthetic, and euphoriant properties. Its active ingredients are called kavalactones.

Vanua Chocolate has teamed up with Lami Kava to present the first ever Kava & Dark Chocolate pairing in Fiji.  While the trend has been wine and cheese or wine and chocolate, this pairing well suited to the Pacific Islands where Kava has been used as a relaxant and a social drink.  The intial bitter taste is normally subdued by a sweet or lolly which at times is not all too healthy. Dark chocolate presents a healthier alternative.

The event will take place on Thursday starting at 5:30pm to 6:30 pm  at the Vanua Chocolate café that is located at Colonial Plaza, Waqadra, a colonial themed building located opposite Toyota Asco dealership. "Attendees will get an inside story on the secrets of making a flavorfull dark chocolate and experience tasting and identifying different flavor notes using a flavor wheel", quoted Filimain Foster, event organizer . Vanua chocolate crafts chocolate from different origins namely Dreketi, Vanua Levu, Rakirkai , Vitilevu and the Savusavu. Each chocolate has a unique taste due to terroir. The event is hosted at only $10 that gives an hour of sampling and kava drinks.
