There’s no denying that Filipinos love chocolates. In recent years, many Filipino-owned chocolate brands have been gaining ground not only in the Philippines but also in the global scene. One such brand is Auro Chocolate.
Launched in 2017, Auro Chocolate is a globally recognized bean-to-bar company that directly sources its beans from local partner farmers in Mindanao.

Auro won the new Shining Bright Award from the Academy of Chocolate Special Awards 2020, which was only awarded to four producers that have demonstrated growth in fine chocolate worldwide. Winners in this category were picked from over 50 countries around the world. Auro was praised for gaining high marks in categories like drinking chocolate.
