Flavor Notes: Deep chocolate taste intensified by rich black sesame with hints of caramel popcorn and creamy nutty flavors of pili. Ending with a very satisfying crunch and texture.  A very rich chocolate with all the benefits of healthy seeds and nuts!

What is pili nut?

Pili nut is a smooth and soft nut from a pill tree, known to have the highest vitamin E per gram of all nuts in the world. The Philippines is the only country to produce pili nuts commercially. 

Due to its high healthy oil content, it has a very buttery and mild nutty taste. It is commonly roasted with honey and eaten as a snack or used in confectionery. 

Description:

Like that exotic vacation you’ve been dreaming of. Dark chocolate is combined with black sesame praline, cashews, and glazed pili nuts for an almost sinfully indulgent and crunchy treat. If a sexy adventure had a flavor, this would be it in an award-winning bar. 

A truly unique ingredient, Pili nut is listed in the Ark of Taste catalogue of rare heritage food by the Slow Food Movement.
