Milk Chocolate Adobo, Theo & Philo

Milk Chocolate Adobo

Theo & Philo is a bean-to-bar artisan chocolate maker based in the Philippines. As one of the first of its kind in the region, the company focuses on highlighting native ingredients and local culinary traditions within the framework of specialty chocolate production.

This bar draws inspiration from the national dish of the Philippines. By incorporating soy sauce and black pepper into the recipe, the milk chocolate base gains a distinct savory edge. The inclusion of milk powder and butter creates a creamy foundation that balances the heat of the pepper, resulting in a profile dominated by contrasting peppery and toffee notes. The cocoa mass is refined using a melanger to achieve its final texture.

The bar contains milk, soy, and wheat. Every 45 gram bar serves as an example of how conventional chocolate categories are challenged by blending confectionery standards with regional flavor profiles. The ingredients consist of sugar, cacao beans, cocoa butter, milk powder, butter, soy sauce, and black pepper.
