Auro Assorted Collection

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The Auro Assorted Collection is a beautifully packaged box containing seven unique chocolates, each showcasing the best of Filipino craftsmanship. The chocolates are made with sustainably-sourced cacao beans from Davao farmers and local ingredients, making them not only delicious but also supporting local communities. The chocolates are also gluten-free and treenut-free.

This collection includes:

32% White Chocolate 60g: Smooth and creamy white chocolate with the added crunch of roasted cashews. 42% Milk Chocolate 60g: Rich and velvety milk chocolate that is perfect on its own or paired with a cup of coffee. 64% Dark Chocolate 60g: Intense and bold dark chocolate with a deep, complex flavor profile. 32% Cashew Dulce 60g: A unique chocolate that combines the sweetness of white chocolate with the savory flavor of roasted cashews. 34% Plant-based Calamansi Cheesecake 60g: A creamy and tangy chocolate that combines the flavors of calamansi and cheesecake for a unique and delicious taste. 47% Plant-based Salted Peanut 60g: A rich and nutty chocolate that balances the sweetness of the chocolate with the salty crunch of peanuts. 55% Plant-based Mocha Crunch 60g: A creamy and indulgent chocolate that combines the flavors of mocha and crunchy bits of cacao nibs.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Both dark and milk chocolate go well with red wine. Try a Shiraz or a Cabernet Sauvignon with Dark Chocolate. For Milk Chocolate, go with a Merlot or a Pinot Noir. White chocolate is much sweeter, and thus, will be better with a less sweet drink. All of these will pair perfectly with a good cup of gourmet coffee, or a mug of hot tea.

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 chocolate block 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!
