Maui Kuʻia Estate Chocolate was founded in 2015 by Dr. Gunars Valkirs in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. He started the company to turn cacao growing into a sustainable chocolate-making business that could support the island’s nonprofit community. The company was built around donating its net profits to Maui charities, with local agriculture and a solar-powered Lahaina factory central to that mission.
The deluxe dark milk box contains 48 individually wrapped squares across eight flavors: classic, mango, guava, calamansi lime, blood orange, lemongrass, Maui Mokka coffee, and peppermint. There are six pieces of each flavor. Coffee uses 58% cacao and the remaining listed recipes use 60%. Milk supplies the creaminess throughout this assortment; it is distinct from both the all-dark and mixed-style deluxe boxes.
The chocolate is manufactured in Lahaina, Hawaii, United States. The supplier’s published sourcing information identifies imported cacao for its non-estate recipes. Its cane sugar comes from Brazil and its cocoa butter from Peru, so Lahaina manufacture does not mean that every ingredient is grown in the United States.
An assortment lets you compare fruit, herb, mint, and coffee flavors within a milk-containing chocolate style. Start with the classic recipe, then move to flavored pieces in small portions. The milk is present throughout the assortment, so it should be chosen for a recipient who can eat milk rather than treated as a dairy-free gift.
Individually wrapped squares make the box useful for a planned tasting, an office gift, or sharing after a meal. Count the intended portions against the listed piece total before ordering. Keep any remaining squares wrapped and return them to cool, dry storage rather than leaving the open box in a warm room or sunny display.
When choosing between chocolate recipes, consider the cacao percentage, the presence of milk, the flavor, and the number of pieces together. A higher percentage alone does not describe sweetness, nutrition, or suitability for a particular diet. The product facts below identify this selection so you can compare it with other chocolate formats and choose the amount you actually need. For a gift, check the recipient’s preferences and dietary needs before selecting a milk-containing recipe or an assortment that includes coffee.

Contains milk. This is a milk-containing chocolate and is not suitable for someone avoiding dairy.
Keep the chocolate sealed in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, moisture, strong odors, and hot vehicles. A stable room temperature helps protect its texture. For general guidance, Iowa State University Extension recommends a storage temperature around 65–70°F; its chocolate storage and bloom guidance explains how temperature and humidity affect appearance. Use the best-by date on the package for the batch received.
Allow 2–4 business days for dispatch. The supplier’s shipping department operates Monday through Thursday and aims to process orders within 48 hours of receipt. Orders received after 11 a.m. Hawaii time on Thursday through Sunday begin processing on Monday. Warm-weather dispatch may be limited to Monday through Wednesday to reduce weekend heat exposure, and holiday periods can add delays. The supplier packs chocolate in insulated liners with gel packs and normally uses FedEx 2Day for the continental United States and Alaska; transit time begins after dispatch. Use a street address for mainland delivery, as FedEx does not deliver to mainland P.O. boxes. Shipping charges and available services for your destination are shown at checkout.
