Koko, Sāmoan cacao, is pumped with antioxidants, magnesium and other life-enriching nutrients, and it tastes great. Two Christchurch sisters are making magic with this super ingredient.

Sisters Lizzie Fa’avae-Vili and Faga Fa’avae are bringing a special flavour to Christchurch: quality baked goods made from traceable and sustainable koko (cacao) grown on their family farms in Sāmoa. Their bakery, named Sisterkoko, bakes delectable brownies using unrefined dark Sāmoan koko with its unique smoky taste. 

The brownies have a distinctive smoky koko taste to them, and they're stunningly delicious without being overly sweet (a common brownie pitfall).

Sisterkoko bakes limited batches, so if you're wanting to give this fad a spin while it's still in the 'pre-cool' stage, send the good sisters a message and pre-order some brownies well in advance of when you need them.
