Aunty Tommy’s is the name given to a new cacao business which is modernising traditional methods of manufacturing koko Samoa.
Rivers says the business specialises in everything involving Pacific Cocoa or the ‘traditional koko block’.
“We’ve got a full production facility here. We make cacao paste. We also do nibs – and we’re looking to maybe expand into cocoa powder,” he says.
Its unique name has a familial significance for its co-founders who also happen to be cousins.
