Description

Like that exotic vacation you’ve been dreaming of. Dark chocolate is combined with black sesame praline, cashews, and pili nuts for an almost sinfully indulgent and crunchy treat. If a sexy adventure had a flavour, this would be it.

The pili nut is the fruit of an originally Filipino tree. The seeds (nuts) are often roasted with honey and eaten or used in confectionery, like in this chocolate.

Cocoa from Malabog
Theo & Philo works with cocoa from the barangay Malabog, a community of about 11.000 inhabitants, which is part of Davao City, the largest city in the Philippines by area. Everything in Davao City is low-rise and very green, sprawling in hill country.
There are many small cocoa farmers in Malabog. Growing conditions are perfect. In 2019, for example, Nong Joe won, out of 226 participants from 55 countries the prize for the best cocoa beans of the world in the International Cocoa Awards (ICA).
Philo Chua sources the cocoa, in collaboration with the organisation Gawad Kalinga, from a group of farmers. Gawad Kalinga helps people out of poverty.
(Barangay is the smallest political administrative unit in the Philippines.)

Ingredients: cocoa beans (58%), cane sugar, glazed pili nuts (pili nuts, sugar, oil), cashew, cocoa butter, black sesame.

Contains nuts and sesame. May contain traces of cow’s milk and soy.
