Flavor Notes: Deep and velvety dark chocolate boosted by real peel of the calamansi citrus fruit. Great balance of dark cacao with sweet and tangy citrus burst. 

What is calamansi?

Calamansi or known as calamondin, it is widely used in Philippine cuisine – from beverages, sauces and squeezed over dishes to add a zesty fresh flavor. It is a hybrid that originates from kumquat and (probably) the mandarin. 

Calamondin can taste between a cross of orange and lemon and its thin yellow peel can be eaten or made into jams or marmalade.

Although in the west, this citrus is primarily used as a beautiful ornamental plant and waiting to be discovered for its wonderful culinary potential.
