Paquibato Single Estate Reserve 2018

The Paquibato Single Estate Reserve 2018 is a flagship expression from Auro, a trailblazing bean-to-bar maker based in the Philippines. By working directly with farming communities in Davao City, Auro has elevated the profile of Filipino cacao on the global stage. This bar represents a meticulous commitment to origin, showcasing the specific terroir of the Paquibato Estate.

At 70% cacao, this dark chocolate is crafted with a focus on precision post-harvest techniques. The beans undergo a rigorous 132-hour box fermentation followed by 5.5 days of sun-drying, a process that coaxes out a sophisticated flavor spectrum. On the palate, one discovers a harmonious blend of forest valley flowers and dark honey, grounded by the richness of caramelized nuts and lifted by bright flashes of peach and citrus.

Auro maintains a philosophy of transparency and quality, utilizing only three core ingredients: cacao mass, organic muscovado sugar, and cacao butter. This dedication to purity and excellence has earned the bar significant international recognition, including accolades from the Academy of Chocolate and the Cocoa of Excellence program. It is a Halal-certified testament to the potential of Philippine cacao.
