PH's Auro continues its sweet success

Filipino chocolates are steadily making a name in the market, as buoyed by those devoted to local cacao. Business partners Kelly Go and Marc Ocampo are among the few passionate proponents of the sweet endeavor as they continue to nurture and grow their brand Auro.

Auro’s name is derived from AU, the chemical symbol for gold in the periodic table combined with oro, which is the word for gold both in Filipino and Spanish. Committed to the gold standard in production, Go and Ocampo strove to perfect the art and science of producing high quality cocoa and chocolates with an artisanal approach. As such, they produce pure cocoa available in nibs and mass, as well as covertures in full-bodied rich chocolate flavors with tropical fruit notes and creamy and smooth textures perfect for baking.
