Kasama Goat's Milk 55%

Cocoa Origin: Philippines
Producer Country: Canada
Weight: 55 g

Combining Trinitario cacao from Davao in the southern Philippines with goat’s milk from Happy Days Dairy in British Columbia’s Shuswap region, this bar showcases a striking contrast between lush tropics and rugged northern terrain. The ingredients reflect this diversity—fruity cocoa meets creamy, tangy goat milk. This pairing elevates both elements, resulting in a uniquely balanced and delicious bar. While we all enjoy the classic bitter-sweet balance of chocolate, the goat’s milk introduces a tangy note, with hints of fresh grass and a marshmallow-like flavour that perfectly complements the rich chocolate taste.

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.

Davao 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.
