Situated on the most southerly of the larger islands of the Philippines – and in the “Goldilocks zone” 10 degrees either side of the equator – the cocoa farmers of Mindinao Island have the ideal combination of tropical rainforest and volcanic soil. It is perfect for growing a cocoa bean with a distinctive chocolate flavour complimented by hints of honey, fig and citrus notes.

Low key delight

A little slow to develop but once it blooms on the tongue and cheek, fudge and a hint of caramel predominate. Pleasantly sweet but not cloying. Very faint nut on the finish with a hint of floral note (I don't like floral but find this one nice). I prefer more of fruit and heavier cocoa/coffee notes and I don't detect any, which the tasting notes on the bar do not promise. This is an overall very lovely bar.
