Description

What happens when you take a beloved couple and add a third-wheel? Well, in this case gastronomic magic happens. Dried green mango, a little salt, and dark chocolate create a distinctly Filipino flavour that’s sure to inspire a whole new batch of dreamers and chocolate lovers.

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, dried green mango, sea salt.

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