TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR
Like its name, the Luna Single Estate melds the deep but calming aspects of a moonlit night. Passionately and expertly crafted from single harvest beans, it captures the essence and distinctive notes of the land it’s taken from. With flavors of spices, forest blossoms, and dry herbs, the Luna Single Estate is a delicacy with a depth.
PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS
A glass of Merlot or Pinot Noir makes the Auro 50% Dark Milk Chocolate – Luna Single Estate shine as bright as its namesake. An Oolong tea or an herbal tea also pairs brilliantly with it.
AWARD-WINNING, PROUDLY PINOY
The name. Auro Chocolate, has become such a distinct moniker that you’ll find few who aren’t familiar with the brand. Since their launch in 2015, they’ve found exponential growth and success. They can now be found in many specialty shops, as well as hotels, select supermarkets, restaurants, the Philippine Airlines, and retail stores in 10 countries.
Proudly Filipino, Auro Chocolate boasts a company that is not only bean-to-bar, but is also committed to positive social impact.

Storage Instructions
Store your chocolates in a cool, dark place, ideally between 18 to 24°C. You can use the refrigerator, but place the chocolate in an airtight container to keep the moisture and humidity out—and retain its full range of flavors, of course!
