It all starts at our farm in Cagayan de Oro, where we hand-pick the ripest cacao pods at just the right moment. We believe in the beauty of timing and nature, ensuring each pod is chosen for its peak flavor, setting the stage for the best Filipino pasalubong from the Philippines.
Once we’ve harvested the pods, we remove the beans and let them ferment naturally for several days. This is where the magic happens! Fermentation brings out the rich, complex flavors that make our cacao products so special, making them ideal as the best pasalubong for Filipinos.
After fermentation, we spread the beans out under the sun to dry. There’s something about the warm Philippine sunshine that helps lock in the flavors and get the beans ready for the next step. As a result, it’s a slow, patient process that ensures each product becomes a memorable pasalubong from the Philippines.
Next, the beans are roasted to enhance their natural flavor. During this step, the aroma during this step is heavenly! This is where the beans develop that deep, rich taste that makes our chocolate irresistible, perfect for gifting as pasalubong from the Philippines.
After roasting, we gently crack the beans and remove the outer shells to reveal the cacao nibs inside. These little nibs are the heart of all our delicious cacao treats, making every bite a true taste of the Philippines, ideal for pasalubong.
We then grind the cacao nibs into a smooth paste, which forms the base of our chocolates and other cacao products. The texture is creamy and indulgent, just the way we like it, and perfect for pasalubong from the Philippines.
To make sure our chocolate is silky smooth, we refine the paste until it reaches the perfect consistency. This step is key to creating that melt-in-your-mouth experience, making our products a standout pasalubong from the Philippines.
Tempering gives our chocolates their beautiful glossy finish and that satisfying snap when you break a piece. It’s all about getting the texture just right, so every bite is a joy to share as pasalubong.
Finally, we shape the cacao into everything from luxurious chocolates to tasty cacao nibs and other creations. Each one is made with care; therefore, we blend traditional Filipino methods with modern touches to bring you something truly special, perfect for the best Filipino pasalubong.
We carefully package every product so it’s ready to be enjoyed or shared as a thoughtful pasalubong from the Philippines. Whether it’s for family, friends, or a personal treat, you’ll taste the love and dedication that goes into every bite from Mang Kiko’s Cacao.
