Chocolate review: Cacao de Davao Calamansi 70% Dark Chocolate

I bought several packs of chocolates at SM Lanang Premiere and so far only tried one (there are many chocolates to choose from in our cache).  I was curious about the 70% dark chocolate with calamansi (Philippine lemon) and so opened one.

The chocolate comes in a resealable foil pack.
Details on the chocolate including source of cacao and the production. Of course, the nutrition information is here as well as information about the company producing this.
Instead of a bar, inside were tablets of chocolate
We thought that the chocolate was okay but it was 'not yet there' in as far taste and texture were concerned. Surely, it is not yet at the level Malagos or Auro. I thought that it was not yet level with another chocolate with calamansi  - Theo and Philo's 65% dark chocolate with calamansi. The latter was more refined though the small bar seemed to be "bitin" and disappointing because of the quantity. For now, I would classify Cacao de Davao's 70% dark chocolate with calamansi as "pwede na yan"; meaning its okay but not really a must try. I would probably buy a pack again in the future just to see (and taste) if it improves. One pack retails for above 200 pesos.
