Chocolate review: Liana's Chocolate 60% Dark Chocolate

The recent trip to Cebu yielded some chocolate purchases. I am always on the lookout for local chocolates and Mactan did not disappoint. We got a few bars from the airport shop just before the pre-departure areas. The first one we tasted was the 60% Dark Chocolate. This was practically what we call 'basic' dark chocolate, and should set the tone for the other dark chocolate variants we bought.

Liana's 60% dark chocolate comes in a 50g bar

The back of the package shows few details about the chocolate including information that the chocolate was made in Zamboanga Del Sur.

A close-up shows the information about the maker and the expiry date. The ingredients are listed at the front and there is no nutrition information, which should be standard for products like this.

 

This chocolate is okay but not yet as refined as the Malagos or Auro chocolates so its not as satisfying. I thought it has only reached the level of Theo & Philo (though the latter may have improved the last few years). The chocolate is on the expensive side at 150 pesos for a 50g bar so it certainly does not have that "bang for the buck". There's definitely room for improvement or refinement of this chocolate.
