Atbang Fine Chocolate
Chocolate from Bohol
NEW: Chocolate bars tailor-made for special events
Our Tree to Bar Chocolate is made from beans sourced from Atbang Farm® and from Bohol farmers. (Bohol Chocolate can also mean its famous Chocolate Hills).
Compound vs Couverture
Do you know why some ‘chocolate’ is cheap and some chocolate isn’t?
The answer lies in knowing the difference between compound ‘chocolate’ and couverture chocolate. In basic terms, couverture chocolate contains natural cocoa butter, whereas compound ‘chocolate’ is made with vegetable oil; the cocoa butter has been removed for other purposes. Couverture chocolate requires tempering to obtain its glossy sheen and its crisp, pleasant-sounding snap. It has a deeper flavour and smoother texture, and is used for high-quality confections that require a rich, smooth flavour. However, it must be stored at cooler temperatures to prevent the cocoa butter from becoming unstable, thus melting the chocolate. Chocolatiers use couverture in truffles, ganaches, and bonbons.️
Compound ‘chocolate’, on the other hand, is a cost-effective alternative for mass production, confectionery, and candies. It melts at a higher temperature than couverture, so it remains solid in hotter and tropical climates, although it may be more difficult to digest. It’s suited for applications that prioritize cost and convenience, such as coating or enrobing, and does not require tempering.
It’s important to know the only one that’s considered real chocolate is couverture, hence the quotation marks around the compound variety. All Tree to Bar chocolate produced by Atbang Farm® is couverture. We do not compromise on quality.
So, which is the better chocolate for you?

The Chocolate Experience
From Tree to Bar: crafting organic chocolate at Atbang Farm®, we take pride in every step of the chocolate-making process, ensuring each bar embodies the essence of our Food Forest. From sowing cacao seeds to nurturing seedlings and cacao trees, then harvesting the pods, we believe in the "Tree to Bar" approach, which guarantees the highest quality chocolate experience.
Understanding Chocolate Percentages
A Spectrum of Flavours: Have you ever wondered what those percentages on chocolate bars mean? The percentage refers to the amount of cacao solids and cocoa butter present in the chocolate. For example, our 72% chocolate bar contains 72% cacao solids and cocoa butter. The remaining 28% in our bars consists only of refined white sugar; we do not use artificial flavourings. Higher cacao percentages generally indicate a more intense and bolder chocolate, with less sweetness. Lower percentages tend to be both sweeter and milder.
Indulge in our Craft Chocolate, created with love and dedication. Experience the essence of Bohol in every bite, knowing that each bar represents a blend of nature's bounty and artisanal craftsmanship.
