Auro Chocolate is a proudly Filipino bean-to-bar company that sources their cacao from farming communities in Davao, Philippines. They have been making waves not only for their quality (at the 2018 Academy of Chocolate Awards in London last July, they won bronze for their 70% Dark Chocolate Saloy Reserve (Tree to Bar Category) and for their 32% Roasted White Chocolate Cashew (Flavored White Chocolate Bar category) but also for their premium gold-tinged packaging. In line with their goal of placing the Philippines on the world cocoa map, they have recently opened their first international boutique in Tokyo, Japan, just a little after a year of operations, last October 7, 2018.
