Toasted Milk and Strawberry

1919 Chocolate operates as a tree-to-bar manufacturer based in the Philippines. By overseeing the production process from the source, they maintain a direct connection to the agricultural origins of their ingredients. The brand draws its identity from the rich soil of the Batangas region, where the cocoa is cultivated and harvested.

The Toasted Milk and Strawberry bar focuses on a minimalist ingredient list consisting of cocoa butter, sugar, milk powder, and freeze-dried strawberries. This combination emphasizes a distinct sensory profile, characterized by prominent toasty notes balanced by the bright, tart influence of the fruit. The texture and flavor development result from the specific processing methods applied to the high-quality local ingredients.

As a tree-to-bar producer, 1919 Chocolate maintains control over the post-harvest conditions of their beans in Batangas. This approach allows the maker to ensure that the character of the regional terroir is preserved throughout the transformation into the final 65-gram bar.
