Bars with awards
20 bars with cacao from the Philippines have award results on Chof. Showing the 12 with the newest results. How Chof lists awards
What is Philippines chocolate known for?
Filipino chocolate leans toward caramel, cream and a soft earthiness, with an unusual signature of bergamot that appears more often than in almost any other origin. The country has a fast-growing bean-to-bar scene built on home-grown Trinitario, much of it from the Davao region in the south.
The Philippines is having a moment. A wave of makers has put Filipino Trinitario on the map, and the bars tend to be approachable: caramel and cream over an earthy base, lifted by that distinctive bergamot-like citrus.
Most cacao comes from Mindanao, especially around Davao. As the scene grows, the Philippines is becoming one of the more interesting Asian origins to follow.
