There are roasted and earthy taste aspects to this bar. The roasted parts lean towards charcoal while the earthy parts are somewhat woody. The bitterness is prominent, leading to a lengthy aftertaste. 7.5
Ingredients: Cacao mass, organic muscovado sugar, cacao butter
Another Philippine origin bar from Auro was tasted in 2018: Auro Philippine Savoy 70% cacao. The source plantation appears to be different (see the Comment on the post).
I needed to look up what is muscovado sugar and I discovered, "Muscovado sugar is unrefined cane sugar that contains natural molasses."
