Theo & Philo – Dark Chocolate with Calamansi 65%
Dark chocolate with citrus is a delicious combination. Calamansi is a typical Filipino citrus fruit that makes this bar a tropical surprise.
Description
Forget watching the sunset in the sea—go for sunshine in your chocolate bar. Calamansi is a refreshing tropical surprise, adding a hint of citrus to the deep and velvety dark chocolate. No matter if it’s La Niña or El Niño, it’s always a perfectly balmy summer with this sweet and tangy combo.
Calamansi, also known as calamondin, is a typical Philippine citrus fruit, which is also found in surrounding countries. But in the Philippines it is widely used. It is a hybrid that originates from kumquat and (probably) the mandarin. From the outside it looks like a lime.
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, cocoa butter, calamondin peel.
May contain traces of milk, nuts, sesame and soy.
