Club des explorateurs n° 203 : PHILIPPINES

L'histoire de la culture du cacao aux Philippines remonte aux années 1700, lorsque les galions espagnols rapportaient des fèves du Mexique. Aujourd'hui, le pays est le premier producteur d'Asie du Sud-Est, bénéficiant de régions aux conditions de sol et de climat idéales pour la culture. Alors que l'industrie locale du chocolat transforme principalement des produits comme la liqueur, le beurre et la poudre pour les marchés mondiaux, une scène dynamique de la fève à la barre émerge. Ces producteurs locaux créent souvent des chocolats innovants en incorporant des ingrédients régionaux tels que des piments, des fruits et même de l'adobo, associant le chocolat aux riches traditions culturelles et gastronomiques philippines.

KASAMA TUPI PHILIPPINES 75%

Pays du producteur : Canada
Cacao : Direct Source, Single Estate, Organic
Poids : 55 g

This cacao is sourced from Kablon Farms, a single estate located in the town of Tupi, near the southernmost tip of the Philippines. The name Tupi originates from “Tufi,” a vine chewed by the native Blaan tribes who lived in the ancient forests of this region. This area of South Cotabato enjoys a mild, consistent climate without pronounced dry or wet seasons, making it ideal for agriculture. The resulting cacao offers a balanced, well-rounded profile with intense yet approachable flavours. Notes of mocha blend seamlessly with roasted chestnut, toasted coconut, dark caramel, and earthy undertones. The absence of lingering bitterness or astringent tannins gives it a smooth, truffle-like quality. It's an exceptionally harmonious, enjoyable chocolate.

FOSSA REHEBOTH ESTATE PHILIPPINES 70%

Pays du producteur : Singapore
Cacao : Direct Source, Single Estate
Poids : 50 g

A single estate chocolate sourced from Rehoboth Estate located in the Calinan district in Davao City, Philippines. Fossa separates out the fruit from old native trees which, while they produce smaller pods and beans, are said to provide more powerful and alluring flavours. I believe it! A light roast profile showcases the beans' impressively rich nuances of dates, figs, prunes, and port. The chocolate coats the entire palate and leaves a chewy, lip-smacking mouthfeel.

WALLACE KABLON FARMS PHILIPPINES 76%

Pays du producteur : Canada
Cacao : Direct Source, Single Estate, Organic

This bar is intricately wound with with both bitterness and acid, but its overall profile is far from intense and offers pleasant banana fudge flavours, a sprinkling of nutmeg, and delicate brown sugar-like sweetness.
