Another Auro bar we got is this 77% dark chocolate, which we thought was as smooth as a bitter chocolate could be. Chocolates >70% tend to have a more bitter taste to them (matapang na at lasang-lasa ang cacao).

This bar retailed for only 200 pesos (about 3.70 USD) so we were actually surprised about the difference in prices with the 55% dark chocolate bar. The shopkeeper couldn't explain it but I can only guess that perhaps this wasn't popular with their customers as they probably thought 77% dark chocolate meant it was too bitter to be enjoyed. They are wrong and are missing out on this chocolate that's only leaning towards bitterness (more a hint rather than absolute). It would be perfect with wine or ice cream but is okay as a standalone after meal treat to relieve yourself some of the after taste of savory food (pangtanggal ng umay).
