reduce. reuse. recycle.

We do our upmost to work by the reduce, reuse, recycle - principle. 
This reflects in our packaging. 

Our PET jar is a lightweight, circular packaging. After serving a first lifetime, it has been recycled into our rPET. And is now again, reusable or fully recyclable to get a third lifetime and more. So cherish its beautiful scars.

Our label has been developed to be fully removable. Different from the classic labels with a high intensity permanent glue (which makes the label unremovable & the PET jar consequently burnt instead of recycled) we've opted for our paper label with a thin layer of PE and non permanent glue. 
You can either remove the label when sorting, or the label will be removed during the recycling process.

Ratio We recommend a 1:6 ratio, 1 part of ground chocolate to 6 parts of dairy or plant-based milk.

Method Working with ground chocolate offers an amazing versatility for preparation as it simply melts into your hot water, milk or plant-based. You can steam into a hot chocolate using an espresso machine’s steam wand, use a milk frother, automatic foamer, french press, shaker or simply heat gently on the stove, while constantly stirring. 

Ground chocolate We grind our chocolate for optimum solubility and a smooth, velvety hot chocolate. The mouthfeel is incomparable to what you can achieve with cacao powder (which is the result of an intensive, often chemical, process removing all amazing cacao butter).

about Luna cocoa

Fine flavor cocoa at the foot of Mount Apo.

The farms growing Auro Luna cocoa are close to Mount Apo National Park, which is home to a very diverse flora and fauna, including birds and orchids that are endemic to the region. Auro focusses on conservation and landscape restoration initiatives to maintain and increase the rich biodiversity of Davao region. Farmers harvest only fully ripe pods and extract the wet beans on the farm. They are collected the same day and transported to Auro’s central fermentation facility. The beans are fermented in wooden three layer cascading boxes that allow drainage of pulp and passage of air. It is a natural and slow process.
