Chocolate review: Mayon Gold Pilinut Crunch Dark Chocolate

I have a backlog of chocolates that I got from my trips to Bicol the past months. These chocolates are all from Mayon Gold, which appears to have the best chocolates in terms of variety and quality.

I got this bar from the Bicol International Airport in Daraga, Albay. I thought it was perfect that the chocolates from Bicol featured the pili nut, which is endemic to the region.

Details on the chocolate is found at the back of the box. These include nutrition information and 

Opening the package reveals what I think is one if not the best packaging for a local chocolate especially in terms of the information here.

There's much information here about the cacao and how its farmed. There are also information on sustainability.

Some key information - vegan, organic sugar, no dairy, no lactose, chemical free, gluten free, plant based, soy free - which a lot of people look for nowadays in their food.

The chocolate cost about 150 pesos, which I thought was okay for quality but a bit expensive for the quantity. Will I buy this again soon? I think so and will also do so to share or give as souvenir or pasalubong.
