Like cacao, kumara originally came from South America, travelling west across the Pacific after being traded through the islands and landing in Aotearoa with Māori.

In this chocolate Hogarth have used Kumara crisps from fellow Nelsonites Proper Crisps. Proper make their crisps using seasonally selected varieties, mostly red kumara (owairaka), gold kumara (toka toka) and orange kumara (beauregard).

The kumara paired with cacao highlights the caramelisation of the crisps, adding caramel and fruit notes to a deliciously smooth kumara milk chocolate.
