A trip to Davao will not be complete without getting chocolates from there. As I've written before, Davao produces what are arguably the best chocolates of single origin cacao in the country. Malagos, I think, led the pack in making really high quality chocolates that are comparable with the established ones from abroad especially from Europe. They've also won many awards for their chocolates, which are testaments to their quality. Here's one of the few variants they have of their chocolates:
 |
| Malagos 72% Dark Chocolate is for me the best among their chocolates. It is just the right blend of sweet and bitter. |
 |
| Details on the chocolate at the back of the packaging. |
 |
| Details about the cacao used in the production |
 |
| Nutrition information as well as information on the manufacturer. Malagos actually refers to a Barangay in Davao City. |
While Malagos has maintained its high quality chocolates, they have produced fewer variants compared to what I think is their closest competitor (if you can call it that) in the Philippines. Auro chocolates seems to be more aggressive in producing variants and have caught up with Malagos in terms of the quality of the chocolates. Of course, this is still very positive and excellent in terms of the collective direction of Philippine chocolates. Everyone ultimately benefits from the healthy competition and these two should be the benchmark for other Philippine companies that have gone into chocolates.
