   It all began in 2019, when the world of chocolate-making opened up to Karl after Kay brought home beans from her family’s 100 year old cacao farm in Batangas. After immersing himself in a little personal project, he started making small batches for family and friends. With everyone’s encouragement, 1919 Chocolate was created.They believe that flavor starts from the ground up. Being a third generation cacao farmer, Kay oversees the care and propagation of their farm’s century-old Criollo trees. The long history behind these fruit-bearing cacao trees, combined with modern post-harvest and fermentation protocols, create the unique flavors that 1919 is proud of.https://1919chocolate.ph/

We also formulate our own bio organic foliar from a mixture of seaweeds, fish amino acid and molasses to encourage them to produce flowers and cherelles and to sustain them.
