Auro Nibs Collection

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The Auro Nibs Collection is a carefully curated box of six of Auro’s best chocolates with Cacao Nibs. They’re all made with the finest cacao beans from Davao’s lush tropical forests, sustainably-sourced from local farmers. Each bar is deliciously smooth, with carefully roasted cacao nibs adding a great crunchy texture.

You get two of each bar in the pack:

• 64% Dark Chocolate with Cacao Nibs – A gluten, peanut, and treenut-free chocolate that is also vegan, this one is smooth and with just the right amount of bitterness. It won Bronze in the 2019 Academy of Chocolate Awards.
• 42% Milk Chocolate with Cacao Nibs – This smooth, single-origin milk chocolate was also a Bronze winner for the 2019 Academy of Chocolate. It’s gluten-free, treenut-free, and peanut-free.
• 32% White Chocolate with Cacao Nibs – Creamy, with a hint of bitterness from the nibs, this chocolate tastes almost like cookies and cream. It’s also gluten, treenut, and peanut-free.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Pair your dark chocolate with a Shiraz or a Cabernet Sauvignon, while milk chocolate pairs well with a Pinot Noir. White chocolate is sweeter, and balances well with bitter drinks like a cup of gourmet black coffee.

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. Their fine cacao and chocolates are made from beans directly sourced from farmers in Mindanao, and bought at higher value to give the farmers opportunities for an improved standard of living. Crafted with skill, passion, and the latest technologies in their factory in Calamba, Laguna, they seek to honor the flavors that make Filipino chocolate so distinct, using traditional techniques and original recipes.

So incredible is their passion and their craft that they’ve been globally recognized multiple times, winning distinctions from illustrious award-giving bodies like the International Chocolate Awards, and the Academy of Chocolate. They currently have 50 international awards to their name.

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!
