The cacao beans used to make our 75% Dark Chocolate Bark is sourced directly from the northwest Calinan district of Davao City, Philippines. Known as the cacao capital, Davao produces 80% of the nation’s cacao.
Mr. Michael Tan operates a small cacao buying station located in the Poblacion, town centre of Calinan, Philippines. He buys wet cacao beans from smallholder farmers which are fermented and sun-dried in small batches. Such production ensures quality and develops great flavour notes.
