Theo & Philo 65% Dark Chocolate Covered Cashew & Honey

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Nuts, honey, chocolate. Talk about a perfect candy combination! Theo & Philo gives us exactly that in their 65% Dark Chocolate Covered Cashew & Honey. Made with dark chocolate made from cacao from Davao, local honey, and cashews from Palawan, it’s not only delicious, it’s also proudly Filipino.

These chocolates have a great crunch, while still being very creamy. Its flavor is amazing—nutty, sweet, and chocolatey. The sweetness of the honey perfectly balances out the slightly bitter chocolate, and the cashews add a great nutty taste dimension.

PROUDLY PINOY

Theo & Philo is a company that cares. From their ingredients to their advocacies, you can be assured that supporting the company means supporting the Filipino.

They make single origin bean to bar chocolates, meaning all the cacao beans used to make their products come from the Philippines, and the Philippines only. They work with a Gawad Kalinga (GK) farming community in Malabog, Davao, where they buy the beans directly from the farmers. They also sponsor scholarships for the GK community, and give educational transportation allowance to the farmers’ children so they could go to school regularly.

All their employees are Filipino, and the sugars that they use in their chocolates come from the sugarcanes of Bacolod.

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!
