Chocolate review: Lorenzo Farm 70% Dark Chocolate

We finally tasted one of the chocolates I bought in Iloilo. This is a dark chocolate from Lorenzo Farm tagged as Iloilo Premium Chocolate.

The wrapper for this 70% dark chocolate features Iloilo's Dinagyang Festival.

Details about the chocolate

Information on the maker - Lorenzo Farm - which is located in the town of Dingle, Iloilo. Dingle is located to the north, northeast of Iloilo City.

Nutrition information and manufacturing information. They claim to have only cacao, cacao butter and sugar as ingredients. These seem too few (Mayon Gold claims only two!) so you wonder if this is correct or perhaps they're not disclosing all the ingredients that went into this chocolate.

I thought the chocolate is better than the Mayon Gold chocolate. It is smoother in terms of taste and texture. However, I would say it is a regular or ordinary chocolate. I would buy it for novelty like the Mayon Gold chocolate but that's basically it. The chocolate retailed for 130 pesos and I thought that was expensive for a 56g bar. Perhaps I will try this again after a year or so to see if there's an improvement?
