Christmas is almost here, but are you ready to give gifts? Or are you having a hard time coming up with the perfect present? Oftentimes, homemade edible gifts like fruit cakes or baked goods are the fallback, but with how time-consuming that is, you’ve probably crossed that out in your mental list of potential gifts. 

Well, how about beautifully packaged locally made artisan chocolates?

Auro Chocolates

A proud supporter of local farmers, Auro Chocolates sources its beans straight from the Mindanao farming partners.

Dalareich Chocolate House

Via Dalareich Chocolate House

A family-owned business named after one of the daughters, Dalareich Chocolate House started with only five kilos of cacao. The daughter Dalareich dreamt of creating a bean-to-bar chocolate using their homegrown cacao beans in Bohol, and this came true in the form of her brand Ginto Chocolates, a social enterprise making bean-to-bar chocolates from cacao grown in her hometown. All products are handcrafted, sometimes even by Dalariech herself, making the chocolate taste like an absolute luxury.

Prices range from PHP 150 to PHP 1850

Available in their factory and their online shop

 

 

Hiraya Chocolates

Via Hiraya Chocolates

The brand’s name Hiraya comes from the old phrase “Hiraya Manawari” which means “may the wishes of your heart be granted.” And this is exactly what owner Alvin Joseph Peralta set out to do when he came up with these chocolates. Hiraya aims to fulfill dreams and bring happiness to everyone who touches these chocolates—from the cacao farmers to the chocolate-loving customers.

Manila Chocolatier

Via Manila Chocolatier

Manila Chocolatier started when owner Raul Matias ended up far away from home, missing the Filipino culture in a foreign land. So he distilled what he loved about Filipino culture—from buko pandan and leche flan to barako coffee and salabat—and put its flavors into chocolates made with love.

Prices range from PHP 650 to PHP 1200

Available in select branches of Kultura Filipino and Gourdos
