A 70% dark chocolate bar from AURO featuring Trinitario beans from the Philippines, marked by herbal, bergamot, and cherry tasting notes.
Produced by AURO, the Reserve 2017 Saloy Origin is a 70% dark chocolate bar crafted from Trinitario cacao beans. The beans are sourced exclusively from the Saloy Estate located in Davao City, Philippines.
The processing protocol emphasizes careful handling, with beans naturally fermented in wooden boxes before being sun-dried on raised beds. The final bar is composed of cacao mass, organic muscovado sugar, and cacao butter. This meticulous approach results in a flavor profile characterized by distinct notes of herbs, bergamot, and cherries.
This bar has received recognition for its quality and production standards, earning 2 stars at the Great Taste Awards in 2018. It also secured a Bronze award at the 2018 Academy of Chocolate and a Silver award at the 2019 Academy of Chocolate. The product maintains a certified vegan status.
