Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate & The Philippines Theme Week.
Today's 65% Dark Chocolate with Pineapple and Salt (bar) was manufactured by Theo and Philo Chocolate Factory (Metro Manila, The Philippines).
Aroma and Flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate; and subtle tropical fruit with sweet green (pine) (pineapple), balanced sea salt and faint earth.
Texture: Relatively soft, smooth dark chocolate embedded with tiny shreds of pineapple (fruit).
I really enjoyed the authentic flavors in this bar, the beautiful packaging (with illustrations of Palawan Binturong(s), aka bearcats, and pineapples); and the fact that this bar was crafted in the Philippines using a short list of ingredients.
Maker's notes: "This bar's flavor is as cheeky as a duwende (mythical creature similar to a goblin or gnome) on a sugar rush."
Ingredients: Cacao, Sugar, Dried Pineapple, Cocoa Butter, Salt
Allergen-related information: Processed in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, milk, and other dairy products. Contains sulfites.
