Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate Co Inc (HWVI) grows cocoa in Hawaii and manufactures gourmet varietal and functional chocolate products; it produces and markets dark chocolate, milk chocolate, criollo chocolate, and roasted cacao nibs made exclusively from 100% Hawaiian-grown cocoa beans; the company also develops and brands cocoa and chocolate items including functional variants enriched with natural cocoa elements. Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate offers its products through distributors, retail locations in Hawaii, Northern California, New York, and Beverly Hills, and targets gourmet and premium confectionery markets. Founded in 1986 by James P. Walsh and headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the company operates primarily in the US with a focus on Hawaii-based cocoa cultivation and processing. In late 2021, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with assets between $0.10 million and $0.50 million against liabilities of $1 million to $10 million, emerging from reorganization in December 2022 following court-approved debtor-in-possession financing; no major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or new product launches appear in recent public records through 2025.
