ANG homegrown Malagos Chocolate midawat og tulo ka bronze awards ug duha ka komendasyon sa 2019 Academy of Chocolate (AOC) alang sa Filled Chocolate Category.

Ang AOC tinuig nga international competition sa mga tsokolate sa United Kingdom.

“It’s still our utmost care to provide our customers with high-quality products that drive us to innovate and inspire us to seek excellence with every product that we produce. The Filipino people are our inspiration [for these awards],” suma ni Malagos Chocolate sales and marketing head Rex Victor Puentespina.

“This is our first time to join the filled chocolate category with products that need to maintain a temperature between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius (C). With our tropical country, transport of these products is very challenging and might have affected the products upon judging. We are still continuously researching and developing to get our gold so every feedback counts,” dugang niya.

Nahatagan sa bronze awards ang Ganache nga ginama sa 72 percent dark chocolate sa Individual Truffle sub-category, Rhum Praline sa Alcohol-flavored Ganache sub-category, ug Almonds in Couverture Dark Chocolate sa Panned o Enrobed Fruits and Nuts sub-category.

Ang Malagos Agri-ventures Corporation’s nga pinaugang Guyabano ug roasted Cocoa Nibs sa Couverture Dark Chocolate midawat komendasyon ilawom sa Panned or Enrobed Fruits and Nuts sub-category.

Ang resulta sa filled chocolate gi-anunsiyo, Dominggo, Abril 28.

Ang resulta sa ubang kategoriya wala pa gipahibalo, diin malaumon ang Malagos nga makadawat pa sila og dugang awards gikan sa ubang kategoriya.

“Our goal is to put Philippines in the chocolate map of the world. With our recognitions, not only our brand is being known, we raise the Philippine flag. When we started, premium fine-flavored chocolate is being ignored by our own countrymen as imported is still very much preferred,” ni Puentespina.
