Tigre y Oliva offers handmade bean-to-bar chocolates from La Union. Owner Simone Mastrota is an Italian who traveled the world with his family in the search for great cacao. He took an interest in Philippine cacao after discovering that aside from the usual fruity notes, other cacao origins have spicy, nutty, and earthy flavors. Mastrota believes that the world deserves a taste of Philippine cacao. He makes sure that the cacao doesn’t lose its flavors — he uses little to no sugar at all to highlight the bean’s natural flavor. Tigre y Oliva’s single-origin chocolate bars are wrapped with printed paper from Italy, mixing two cultures into one.

Available here.
