Saloy is a 70% dark chocolate from Auro's Reserve range, made with cocoa from a single estate rather than a pooled lot. At that cocoa content the bar is bittersweet rather than sweet, with the character of the beans in front; Auro describes the flavour as vibrant and lively. The village it is named after lies high in the mountains well away from Davao City on Mindanao, in the southern Philippines, ringed by rainforest and fed by spring water. Net 60 grams.

Details

Saloy is a 70% dark chocolate from Auro's Reserve range: a single-estate bar, made from the crop of one estate rather than a pooled lot. Seventy per cent means cocoa — cocoa solids and cocoa butter together — makes up most of the bar and sugar the rest, so it reads bittersweet rather than sweet and the beans themselves lead. Auro describes this one as vibrant and lively.

Where the cocoa grows

Saloy is a small community of around 2,100 people, up in the mountains a good way from Davao City on Mindanao, the southern island of the Philippines. Davao was once the heart of cocoa production. The estate sits deep in tropical rainforest and is fed by clear spring water running down through the trees, and Auro traces the bar's character back to that setting.

How the Reserve range is made

Auro builds the Reserve range crop by crop. Each harvest and each variety is approached afresh, so what is particular to one estate comes through instead of every bar being steered towards a single house flavour.

FAQ

Customer Questions

Which flavour profiles can I expect with this chocolate?

You can expect a vibrant and dynamic flavour, thanks to the tropical climate and the pure spring water from Saloy. The chocolate is often characterised by fresh, fruity and earthy notes that reflect the terroir of the mountain rainforest. We recommend tasting this chocolate on its own to fully experience the complex layers of flavour.

Is this chocolate also suitable for use in desserts or is it mainly intended to be eaten on its own?

This chocolate has been carefully crafted to be enjoyed on its own, allowing the unique flavour of Saloy to shine through. Of course, you can also use this chocolate in more luxurious desserts, such as a mousse or as a topping, where the characteristic flavours are preserved and will enrich your dish.

What makes the Auro - Saloy - 70% dark chocolate unique compared to other dark chocolates?

The Auro - Saloy - 70% pure chocolate is made from cacao sourced from the remote mountain region of Saloy, near Davao City on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The combination of crystal-clear spring water, the tropical rainforest climate, and the special selection of beans from a single estate creates a unique, vibrant, and dynamic flavour that is characteristic of this region.

Is this chocolate suitable for people who prefer not to eat sweet chocolate?

Yes, this chocolate contains 70% cocoa and is therefore a dark chocolate with a rich cocoa flavour and relatively little added sugar. This makes it an excellent choice for those who prefer less sweet, more intense chocolates.
