The tropical archipelago of the Philippines is home to something remarkable: Rustic Experience Philippines 68%. Here, Southeast Asian terroir creates cocoa with a distinctive character. This exceptional dark chocolate from our Signature Collection showcases the emerging potential of Philippine cacao. Traditional farming meets careful bean selection to produce a chocolate that is genuinely sophisticated. The unique climate and volcanic soils of these islands impart a complexity that sets this origin apart, delivering flavours that reflect both heritage and innovation in cocoa cultivation. The tasting experience opens with a vivid rummy aroma, layered with bright red fruits and a touch of sweetness. As it unfolds, the lively notes of rummy and red fruits deepen into rich roasted cocoa and dried fruits, adding complexity and warmth. The finish is smooth and sweet, with lingering hints of yellow and dried fruits, delivering a rich, fruity, and satisfying taste journey. Our gentle roasting process allows these natural complexities to develop fully, creating a chocolate that evolves beautifully as it melts. With 68% cocoa content, this couverture is highly versatile for professional use, whether you're moulding, enrobing, creating ganaches or making sophisticated desserts. Its balanced fat content ensures consistent performance, and the flavour profile opens up exciting possibilities for creative pairings and chocolate-forward creations. Crafted through sustainable sourcing that supports responsible farming practices, Rustic Philippines 68% represents the potential of this emerging origin and our commitment to quality, respecting tradition and innovation.
