Episode notes

This episode features chocolate expert Martyn O'Dare. With over 30 years experience in the industry which started when he saw a bar of chocolate on the shelf in his uncle's bakery, he launched Firetree Chocolate in 2017. Their chocolate is single estate, using beans grown on remote oceanic islands around the south pacific including Papa New Guinea, Solomon islands and The Phillipines. This area is often known as the ring of fire due to the large number of volcanoes there and the company takes its name from the cacoa tree which is often referred to as the fire tree because of its flame-hued pods.
