No Sugar Added 80% Dark Milk Chocolate Tin | 18 Pieces
Details
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.
No Sugar Added 80% Dark Milk Chocolate Tin
The 18-piece keepsake tin contains an 80% cacao dark milk recipe that the supplier describes as 80% cacao and 20% milk powder, without added sweeteners. It is a different product from the brand’s sweetened sugar-free dark chocolate range. Milk remains part of the recipe, and no-added-sugar wording does not mean the chocolate contains no naturally occurring milk sugars.
The chocolate is manufactured in Lahaina, Hawaii, United States, using imported cacao. The supplier describes this recipe as cacao and milk powder with no added sweeteners. Its general sourcing FAQ identifies Detroit, Michigan, as the source of its roller-dried milk. A recipe-specific cacao growing country is not stated on this product page.

Flavor, Tasting & Gift Ideas
The supplier describes this recipe as containing no added sweeteners, while milk contributes naturally occurring sugars. Use the current nutrition panel to compare total sugars, carbohydrates, serving size, and milk content alongside the cacao percentage. The 80% dark milk recipe and the maker’s sweetened sugar-free dark chocolates have different formulations, so check the specific product when choosing.
The tin offers a contained gift format with individually wrapped pieces that can be shared or enjoyed gradually. Keep the wrappers in place until serving to help protect each piece from handling and surrounding odors. The reusable tin is packaging; no claim is made here that the tin itself was manufactured in the United States.
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.

Storage & Serving
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.
Shipping for This Chocolate
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.
