Producer

Mindful, delicious and authentic specialty food products inspired by our deep respect for the Hawai’ian islands. Hilo-based Kipuka Mills crafts delicious, authentic and sustainable food products from the upcyled nut meal collected after macadamia nuts are pressed. Kipuka Mills offers oil, produces flour and macapan from the meal, and butter from the oil sediment. This ingenuity is a testament of renewal from what would otherwise be thrown out by others. After all, Kipuka Mills is named after the Hawaiian word for the untouched space left behind when lava flows around a stand of trees and seedlings later emerge.
