• Milk Chocolate with Pili & Pinipig: A bronze winner at the Academy of Chocolates 2018-19. A dense milk chocolate bar with a perfectly sweet crunch from well-loved Filipino ingredients–sweet, glazed pili nuts source from Bicol and pinipig (toasted glutinous rice)

PREPARATION OR PAIRINGS

Whether enjoyed on its own, or served as a sweet ending, these decadent bars of milk chocolate are sweetly balanced and smooth on the palate.

Sit down and enjoy the Milk Chocolate with Pili & Pinipig bar with your afternoon cup of coffee. If you’re craving something stronger, Griffo Stout Barrel Whiskey’s notes of smokey oak and coffee bean is a beautiful complement to Theo & Philo’s Milk Chocolate with Barako while the classic Milk Chocolate Bar pairs well with the sweet fruity tones of a cognac such as Hine Rare VSOP.

A FEARLESSLY FILIPINO ARTISAN CHOCOLATIER

With its name directly translating to “chocolate and love,” Theo & Philo’s single-origin artisan chocolates express a unique boldness as it crafts premium chocolates that highlight the local ingredients of the Philippine Archipelago.

A love of crafting premium chocolate bars, responsibly sourced at above market price to provide sustainability to its local community of cacao farmers, Theo & Philo became the first single-origin, bean to bar artisan chocolatier to put the Philippines on the global stage, winning awards at the London Academy of Chocolates and the International Chocolate Awards.

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!
