Davao Orange

Produced by Askinosie Chocolate in the United States, this bar represents a small-batch, bean-to-bar approach to manufacturing. The maker maintains a direct relationship with farmers in Davao, Philippines, ensuring transparency in their processing methods from the moment the harvest arrives at their facility.

The bar features Trinitario cacao beans, chosen for their inherent characteristics and ability to pair with added botanicals. The chocolate composition includes organic turbinado sugar, cocoa butter, and organic vanilla bean, which provides a rounded base. The inclusion of organic orange and orange oil results in a sensory profile defined by juicy orange and citrus peel, balancing the moderate 58% cacao content.

Askinosie emphasizes a rigorous approach to ingredient selection, sourcing components that align with their production standards. The finished 85-gram bar carries a Kosher D.E. certification, reflecting the specific manufacturing protocols maintained at the facility during production.
