Fabriqué à partir de jus de canne à sucre, le muscovado est un sucre collant, grossier et non raffiné qui, contrairement au sucre granulé ou aux autres sucres bruns, conserve sa mélasse, ce qui lui donne sa teinte, son goût et sa texture distinctifs. Cette barre unique n'est ni du chocolat noir ni du chocolat blanc, mais une création unique « bronzée » à base de sucre muscovado philippin, de beurre de cacao, de lait en poudre et de fèves de cacao philippines torréfiées, qui sont moulues dans le chocolat et saupoudrées sur le dos. Son nom combine « Morena », un terme historiquement utilisé pour décrire les Philippines à la peau bronzée ou brune, et « Reyna », le mot espagnol et tagalog pour « reine ». La couleur de peau bronzée de la barre se situe à mi-chemin entre le chocolat noir et le chocolat blanc typiques. Elle mélange impeccablement le cacao torréfié avec la douceur laiteuse, la canne à sucre fruitée et des notes de fruits secs, de muscade et de mélasse. C'est sans conteste l'une des barres les plus innovantes que nous proposons, tant sur le plan conceptuel que dans son exécution. En plus, elle est sacrément délicieuse.

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.
