Callebaut Rustic Experience Philippines 68% is a Single Origin dark chocolate with 68% minimum cocoa solids, crafted from cocoa beans originating from the Philippines. The unique climate and volcanic soils of the tropical archipelago shape its distinctive Southeast Asian terroir, giving the cocoa a characteristic and complex profile.

The flavour opens with a distinctive rummy aroma, bright red fruit notes and a touch of sweetness. As it develops, the lively rummy and fruity notes deepen into roasted cocoa and dried fruits, adding complexity and warmth. The finish is smooth and sweet, with lingering notes of yellow and dried fruits. Callebaut's gentle roasting process allows the natural complexity of the cocoa to develop fully as the chocolate melts.

With its expressive Single Origin character and medium fluidity, Rustic Experience Philippines 68% is highly versatile for professional pastry and chocolate applications. Callebaut recommends it for moulding, enrobing, ganaches and sophisticated desserts. It is also suitable for chocolate bars and tablets, moulded bonbons, truffles, cakes, tarts, brownies, cookies, macarons, Viennoiserie and other professional pastry applications.
