One of the smallest big cities in the Philippines, Davao City is affectionately known as both the cacao and durian capital of the country. In fact, often you'll see both fruit trees growing on the same plantations within city limits, yet due to large soil & cacao varietal differences, you'll find that the resulting chocolates taste nothing alike. The region is so widespread that there's even a citywide speed limit that makes a trip from one end to the other take nearly two hours without traffic!

Kablon Farms is a 70-hectare biodiversified sustainable farm across three locations in South Cotabato, Davao, Philippines, certified organic since 2013. The family farm grows Criollo and hybrid Trinitario cacao in nine fermentation zones to develop specific flavor profiles. Kablon operates a vertically integrated chocolate business: tree-to-bar chocolate, tablea, jams, and coconut products sold through their own shops across South Cotabato and Davao.
