N'est-ce pas génial de goûter un mariage de deux fèves différentes de la même origine ? Cette barre mélange du cacao philippin de Davao avec du café semi-lavé cultivé dans les hautes terres de Bansalan, à Davao del Sur. Les grains de café, cultivés par le producteur primé Ate Marivic dans le cadre d'une coopérative locale appartenant à des agriculteurs, ont été fraîchement torréfiés à Vancouver par Iona et Paolo de Kapé Coffee. Le résultat est une combinaison divine : riche, torréfiée et maltée, rappelant une Imperial Stout. Attendez-vous à des saveurs de nid d'abeille, de dattes, de mélasse et de gâteau de la Forêt-Noire, avec l'espresso à l'honneur dans toute sa splendeur. Le dessert est servi !

Kasama Chocolate is based out of Vancouver’s iconic Granville Island, a renowned hub for artists, crafters, and, above all, a really great food market. Founded in 2015 by Vincent, Stefan, Oliver, and Dominik — four long-time friends who chose the Tagalog word ‘Kasama,’ meaning friendship, camaraderie, and collaboration, to embody their ethos. The company’s connection to the Philippines goes beyond its name. They partnered with the University of British Columbia’s Centre for Sustainable Food Systems, local farmers, and small community stakeholders to initiate a sustainable cacao planting and research project in Cagayan Province, near the Sierra Madre mountains in Northern Luzon. This initiative underscores their commitment to supporting local communities and advancing sustainable agricultural practices. In addition to their Filipino project, Kasama sources cocoa from at least eight other countries, always prioritizing direct relationships with small farmers to ensure fair trade and sustainability. Their bars have plenty of awards to support this curator’s personal opinion that they are one of North America’s premier bean-to-bar chocolate producers.
Achetez plus KasamaDavao City, the largest city in the Philippines by land area and third largest by population, is surrounded by a region of remarkable diversity. Located in the southeastern part of Mindanao, the country's largest island, this area features fertile plains, lush valleys, and Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines. Agriculture is the backbone of Davao, for its bounty of tropical fruits like durian, pomelo, and mangosteen. The region is also a major producer of coffee, coconut, and cocoa. Davao's tropical rainforest climate and nutrient-rich volcanic soil create an ideal environment for cocoa trees, contributing to the region's growing reputation for high-quality cocoa production.
