About

Turon

Theo & Philo produces this bar in the Philippines, operating as a bean-to-bar maker. The identity of the bar is centered on the local Filipino culinary landscape, specifically drawing inspiration from Turon, a popular street food snack consisting of deep-fried banana spring rolls.

The chocolate follows a milk-based profile, formulated with sugar, cacao beans, milk powder, cocoa butter, butter, dried bananas, and sesame seeds. The manufacturing process utilizes a melanger for refining the cocoa mass. The production adheres to a specific fermentation and drying protocol for the beans to ensure consistency in the final texture and flavor development.

This 45-gram bar bridges the gap between traditional chocolate production and regional pastry culture. By incorporating elements of the Turon snack, the maker highlights ingredients such as dried banana and sesame, which alter the typical creamy sensation of milk chocolate with added crunch and fruity undertones.
