Theo & Philo Plus Tanduay? 2 Pinoy Brands Fusing to Create Unique Chocolates

Liquor-filled chocolates are a great idea, but too often they taste like sweet, waxy cough syrup. Thankfully, one of the top chocolatiers in the country is making boozy bonbons that are delicious, based on a template of delicious chocolate with a hit of quality spirit. So up your holiday gift-giving game by choosing Theo & Philo’s new chocolate creation!

Collaborating with 2018’s International Review of Spirits Gold Awardee, Tanduay Asian Rum Gold, Theo & Philo is proud to introduce another chocolate flavor to crave for.

Alcohol-infused chocolates have been a thing long time ago in other countries like Thailand, Malaysia, New Zealand, and most European countries. Now, we have our own version to brag, thanks to Theo & Philo and Tanduay Asian Rum Gold which are both Filipino brands.

The new flavor is made up of 65% dark chocolate from the high quality cacao that Theo & Philo harvests in Davao. This will be filled with house-made caramel and Tanduay Rum which, in turn, is made from the premium sugarcane sourced and harvested in Bacolod.

In introducing the Theo, Philo, & Tanduay, Tanduay Distillers, Inc. chief marketing officer Paul Lim shared the idea behind the new flavor:

“We continue to create innovative ways for people to enjoy rum. The collaboration between two award-winning brands — Tanduay and Theo & Philo – gives us a truly Filipino product we can be proud of.”

Theo & Philo is one of the best home-grown Artisan Chocolates in Manila. They give dark chocolate a new definition and the packaging is too artistic that all of their collections are too adorable to even eat. Starting with just the traditional dark chocolate and milk chocolate, Theo & Philo now has several flavors like Toffee, Pili and Pinipig, Barako as well as the more exotic collections including Ginger, Calamansi, Labuyo, and Green Mango & Salt. All of which can be bought an affordable price of less than P100.

Meanwhile, Tanduay is a known affordable rum brand in the Philippines. Apart from the award it nabbed last year, it also received the Silver award from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and another Silver Award from the WSWA Tasting Competition. Prior to that, it received the Gold Medal from the Monde Selection, the 3-Star Superior Taste Ward from the International Taste & Quality Institute, the Gold award from the International Review of Spirits, Beverage Testing Institute—all in 2017.

Theo, Philo & Tanduay is exclusively available at the Tanduay Store at Century Park Hotel in Malate, Manila.
