The Malagos chocolate
That chocolate tastes good, that it is known and is also
reflected in the abdominal circumference - especially at Christmas and Easter .
Here around Davao there are many cocoa plantations. There
the cocoa trees are growing like the
apple trees at home in Germany. One of
the known cocoa plantations in Davao-Calinan, is the Malagos farm. I knew this
farm through their Cocoa Taler (TABLEYA = native chocolate), which have a
particularly good full flavor and are therefore often used in restaurants and
pastry shops.
The cocoa beans from this farm earn international respect.
This was confirmed in international competitions in London in 2014 and now in
2015 in Hannover/Germany, where a silver medal was earned. It is probably the first
ever Philippine product that has received so much recognition.
It is even on the composition of the cocoa mass which varieties they come from- and there are
many. Most particularly, it probably depends on the processing, where
fermenting and roasting are really important at that. And that requires a lot
of experience.
The Malagos chocolate I've probably seen often in the
Supermarket of the malls. But the brown packaging has not approached to me. And
this chocolate seems to be a little bit
loosing to the other chocolate varieties
of Goya, Hershey, Ferrero, Toblerone and Ritter Sport in the shelves.
The Malagos farm has also made a name in the last
years in the production of goat's cheese and fruit wines. Also an orchid farm
with breeding the most famous orchid of the Philippines, the Waling
Waling-belongs to the company, which is also called Malagos-Garden Resort. A very
Impressing story of success.
With best regards
Ludwig from Davao
