Welcome to Pa’ani Farm

Our Mission

From Dessert Plate to Main Course

Everyone knows that chocolate goes well with other sweet foods;
from strawberries and ice cream to cakes and s’more!

But, have you ever tried darker chocolate as an addition to your dinner? You’d be amazed at all of the incredible pairing possibilities. In Anne's book Savor Your Chocolate, she goes into further detail on which methods to use to get the most out of your chocolate and how to properly pair savory foods so you can enjoy chocolate in a whole new way.

Cacao Sustainability

The cacao industry is very limited in how and where it can be produced.

The top concerns with farming cacao are climate change, deforestation, and disease control. With a small area of land near the equator with viable soil and the ideal climate, only a certain amount can be produced sustainably. Researching her way through, Anne has learned the ins and outs of preparing the trees, farming the cacao, and the hard lesson of trying to plant on lava. Pa’ani Farm believes in sustainable farming and Anne is here to spread the word about not only new flavor combinations but on how to source sustainable chocolate and why it’s important.

The Farm

Pa’ani: “to play” in Hawaiian

Pa’ani Farm is a small farm located on the Big Island in Hawai’i.  Anne van Leynseele, owner of Pa’ani Farm, takes that meaning to the next level. She is on a mission to enlighten the world on savory and sustainable chocolate. 

With years of researching, playing with different savory flavor combinations, traveling, and rehabilitating a farm back to a high-quality producing one, Pa’ani Farm will transform your culinary knowledge and taste buds.

About Anne

Despite Anne’s impressive work history of marketing and then becoming a lawyer, she has always had a passion for food (along with her super-taster taste buds).

This lifelong love of chocolate and inspiration from her travels to Australia made the perfect pairing for Anne to find a wonderful farm that was ready for her special touch. Check out Anne’s journey, from how she got started and bought a farm in Hawaii to testing recipes and going to Paris for a chocolate competition!
After her years of research and trial and error, Anne has compiled the best savory chocolate pairings into Savor Your Chocolate.
