Luna

Luna is a distinguished creation by Fossa, a pioneering bean-to-bar maker based in Singapore. As an artisan producer, Fossa focuses on small-batch craftsmanship that highlights the distinct terroir of Asian cacao. By handling the entire process from roasting to final tempering in-house, the maker ensures each bar reflects a dedicated commitment to the nuances of the bean.

This 75% dark chocolate bar is defined by its elegant simplicity. Crafted using only two ingredients, cacao beans and cane sugar, it allows the complexity of the Davao, Philippines origin to shine. On the palate, the chocolate offers a sophisticated sensory experience with bright citrus top notes, a deep sweetness reminiscent of dried longan, and a rounded, nutty finish of hazelnut. Its recognized excellence is evidenced by its silver medal at the International Chocolate Awards 2019 Asia-Pacific and a bronze medal at the Academy of Chocolate 2019.

The foundation of this bar lies in careful post-harvest management. The cacao beans undergo a meticulous protocol of six days of fermentation followed by natural sun-drying. This disciplined approach to processing preserves the integrity of the harvest, resulting in a clean and evocative chocolate that showcases the potential of Philippine cacao in the specialty market.
