Green Banana Chips & Pink Salt 60%

Theo & Philo is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in the Philippines. As a producer that manages the process from the raw cacao bean to the finished bar, the company focuses on highlighting ingredients native to the region. The operations are centered in the Philippines, reflecting a commitment to showcasing local agriculture and flavor profiles within their 45-gram bars.

The Green Banana Chips & Pink Salt 60% bar centers on cacao sourced from the Davao region. To achieve a smooth texture, the maker uses a melanger for the refining process. The flavor profile is defined by the inclusion of banana pieces and coconut oil, which complement the 60% cacao base. The addition of Himalayan salt balances the natural sweetness, creating a contrast between the earthy cocoa and the crisp texture of the banana chips.

The bar relies on a specific set of ingredients, including cacao beans, sugar, banana, cocoa butter, coconut oil, and Himalayan salt. By utilizing regional Philippine cacao, the maker emphasizes local sourcing as a core pillar of their production philosophy.
