Behind the Bar

Ocean water goes through nine levels of filtration before being dried by the sun to produce the salt for the Pa'akai Bar, a naturally occurring process that can take up to five weeks. Hawaiian sea salt is considered to be some of the purest salt in the world, containing more trace minerals and lower sodium concentrate. In short, it’s less “salty” and more flavorful.

From the slopes of Kohala in Hawai'i, where Hamakua Macadamia Nut company powers the largest local macadamia nut harvest with 100% biomass and solar energy, this bar features ingredients from farms who are pushing the needle on regenerative farming.

10% of proceeds from this bar go to ALOHA's long-time partners at Kupu, helping to empower Hawai'i and Pacific region’s youth through dozens of free and paid environmental conservation programs. From restoring historic wetlands in the field, to solving sustainability challenges in the classroom, Kupu is on a mission to empower youth to serve their communities through character-building, service-learning and environmental stewardship.
