The World's Top Milk Chocolate Bars with flavouring 2024

International Chocolate Awards 2024 - Silver

Origin & Collaboration
  • Crafted by Auro Chocolate, the award-winning tree‑to‑bar bean-to-bar maker based in the Philippines.
  • Developed in collaboration with Mifukuan, a celebrated Japanese craft company renowned for producing yuzu kosho and traditional tsukemono, this bar embodies Filipino-Japanese harmony.
Flavor & Texture Highlights
  • Cacao Base: A silky, creamy 42% milk chocolate derived from Philippine-origin cacao beans. Sweet but nuanced—its flavor is often compared to raw honey rather than processed cane sugar.

  • Yuzu Infusion: Bright, aromatic yuzu powder and zests of orange and lemon lend refreshing citrus vibrancy and floral complexity—cutting through the richness of milk chocolate in a balanced, lively way.

  • Mouthfeel: Smooth with a gentle snap. Some reviews note it's firmer in texture and melts gradually as you savor it.

Why It Stands Out
  • Refined Citrus Twist: This isn't a simple flavoring—yuzu brings zesty acidity, floral lift, and a delicate tartness that enhances milk chocolate's creaminess.

  • Ethical & Transparent: Auro directly sources from Philippine cacao farmers, paying premiums above market rate and supporting sustainable farming with training and infrastructure support.

  • Award Recognition: The bar received a Silver medal at the 2024 International Chocolate Awards and Bronze from the Academy of Chocolate in the flavored milk category.

Tasting Notes: Creamy milk chocolate mingled with citrus zest and subtle floral notes.

Pairings & Serving Tips

  • Enjoy as is: Best eaten slowly to appreciate the interplay of rich cocoa and citrus brightness.

  • Perfect with: A floral oolong tea, cold sake, or a sparkling citrus-forward cocktail to echo the bar’s zesty elegance.

  • Creative uses: Grate over panna cotta or yogurt, or chop into baked goods for bursts of citrus-flavored chocolate.

Summary

The Auro 42% Milk Chocolate with Yuzu is a vibrant, balanced confection—sweet and creamy yet refreshingly citrus-forward. It’s an innovative expression of Filipino cacao craftsmanship and cross-cultural collaboration, ideal for those who appreciate unique flavor pairings and ethical sourcing. Recognized by international chocolate awards, it's a delightful treat for adventurous palates.

Contains-dairy

Auro Chocolate is a Filipino bean‑to‑bar (or tree‑to‑bar) chocolatier founded in Davao in 2015, co-founded by Mark Ocampo and Kelly Go. They were inspired on a trip abroad to showcase the potential of Philippine cacao and decided to build a brand rooted entirely in the country’s chocolate heritage. Their name reflects this mission: “Au” (the chemical symbol for gold) and “oro” (Spanish/Filipino for gold), symbolizing the preciousness of both fine cacao and community advancement.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Nos chocolatiers s'abstiennent fièrement d'utiliser des stabilisateurs ou des conservateurs artificiels dans leurs produits, ce qui rend leurs créations plus sensibles à la température par rapport aux autres chocolats haut de gamme.

Pour garantir une expérience gustative optimale, il est conseillé de conserver nos chocolats dans un endroit frais et sec où la température oscille entre 16°C et 18°C. Nous vous conseillons de ne pas réfrigérer nos chocolats, car cela pourrait provoquer une cristallisation du sucre due à l'augmentation de l'humidité, altérant ainsi leur texture et leur saveur.

Au contraire, s'il est conservé à des températures trop élevées, le beurre de cacao peut se séparer et former un film blanc à la surface du chocolat. Cette perte de beurre de cacao peut entraîner un dessèchement du chocolat et, par conséquent, une altération potentielle de sa saveur. Vos pratiques de conservation réfléchies contribueront à préserver l'intégrité de nos délicieux chocolats.
