This cocoa is produced by the Paquibato farmers' cooperative in the Davao region. In 2019, during the Paris Chocolate Show, the beans grown by Jose Saguban, a member of the cooperative, were recognized with the "Cocoa of Excellence" as one of the 20 best cocoa beans in the world.
This is an exceptional cocoa and, as such, it allows us to create an exceptional chocolate, combining the sweetness of fresh fruits with a finish of soft toasted nuts. It has the best of the fruitiest cocoas and the best of the most classic cocoas. A perfect balance to satisfy any palate.

Description:
It was around the 60s when chocolate was no longer made as it had always been made: from the cocoa bean. Chocolate makers began to buy the paste already made, saving costs and increasing productivity, but thus losing its personality, flavour and essence.
We realised that the revolution had to start with tradition and that to reinvent chocolate it was necessary to return to its origin: the cocoa bean.
We had to take a step back to see things from a different perspective. Recover the essence and move forward. Return to artisanal production in small batches. Return to taking care of the raw material and resuming direct contact with the producers. In short, return to chocolate that tastes like chocolate.
