Saloy is Auro's 100% cocoa bar: cocoa and nothing else, with no sugar to soften it. The beans come from a single harvest for Auro's Reserve Collection, grown in tropical mountain forest in the Philippines and fed by the spring water that runs down through the plantations. That shows in the taste, which goes to warm spices, bergamot and cherries rather than the flat bitterness people expect from a bar this dark. A 60 g bar.

Details

Auro Saloy is a 100% cocoa bar, and that means what it says: the ingredient list runs to one line. No sugar, no milk, no soy, nothing added to round off the edges. What you taste is the bean itself: firmly bitter, dry and intense, with nothing sweet to lean on.

Where it comes from

Auro makes this chocolate in the Philippines. Saloy sits among tropical mountain forest, where fresh spring water runs down through the plantations, and Auro credits that setting for the bar's lively character. The flavour bears it out: warm spices, a citrus lift of bergamot, and a dark cherry note that carries through the finish.

The Reserve Collection

Saloy belongs to Auro's Reserve Collection, which is made from the beans of a single harvest rather than a pooled lot. Working that way keeps whatever is particular to one community and one piece of land in the bar, instead of blending it away.

Eating a 100% bar

Break off a small piece and let it melt rather than chewing it. The flavours arrive slowly that way, and the texture turns from firm and dry to soft. It suits anyone who already takes their coffee black, and it is a useful bar to cook with, since the sugar in a recipe is then entirely yours to set - grated into hot milk for drinking chocolate, or into a bake that is sweet enough already.

FAQ

Customer Questions

What does the Auro Saloy 100% cacao chocolate taste like?

This bar consists entirely of cacao, with no added sugar. That makes it taste distinctly bitter and intense, clearly different from a dark bar of 70 or 85 percent.

Underneath that bitterness sits the flavour profile of Saloy: spicy, with notes of bergamot and cherry. Take small pieces and let them melt slowly: that is when those notes come through best.

What is in the Auro Saloy 100% cacao chocolate and is the bar vegan?

The ingredient list has one ingredient: 100% cacao. So no sugar, milk or soy has been added and the bar contains no animal ingredients.

If you are allergic or very sensitive, always check the packaging. That is where you will find the manufacturer's allergen information, including any traces from the production process.

How many calories and how much sugar are in the Auro Saloy 100% cacao chocolate?

Per 100 grams this chocolate contains 600 kcal (2510 kJ), 51 grams of fat of which 31 grams saturated, 24 grams of carbohydrates of which 1 gram sugars, 12 grams of protein and 0.003 grams of salt.

The bar itself weighs 60 grams. No sugar has been added, that one gram of sugars per 100 grams comes naturally from the cacao bean.

Where does the Auro Saloy 100% cacao chocolate come from?

Auro makes this chocolate in the Philippines. Saloy is part of Auro's Reserve Collection, for which beans from one single harvest are used.

The plantations lie among tropical mountain forests and are fed by fresh spring water. You can taste that character in the spicy, slightly fruity profile of this bar.

How should I store the Auro Saloy 100% cacao chocolate?

Store this bar cool and dry, preferably around 15 to 18 degrees and out of direct sunlight.

Do not put dark chocolate in the fridge. The cold and the moisture make the chocolate bloom and you get a greyish white haze on the bar. The flavour stays fine, but the texture becomes grainier.
