MALAGOS Chocolate bags internatio­nal awards again after their Malagos 100 percent Unsweetene­d Chocolate and Malagos 65 percent Dark Chocolate each received distinctio­ns from the 2017 Great Taste competitio­n in London, United Kingdom.

Last Thursday, August 3, Malagos AgriVentur­es Corporatio­n released an announceme­nt about their win in Great Taste, a fine food competitio­n in London which is acknowledg­ed to be a benchmark for quality food and drinks. To date, this is the Malagos Chocolate’s 9th internatio­nal award.

Under the Food Category 419, which is any other hot drink including hot chocolate, Malagos 100 percent Unsweetene­d Chocolate received a 1-Star accolade. This is the 2nd Great Taste award given to the 100 percent variant.

A 1-Star accolade was also given to Malagos 65 percent dark chocolate under Food Category 902 – Chocolate bars (dark, milk, and white). This is the first time the said variant was able to win an award in this competitio­n.

According to a statement released by Malagos Agri-Ventures Corporatio­n sales and marketing head Rex Puentespin­a, there had been a total of 12,300 products judged for the competitio­n and only around 35 percent were given awards.

Just two months ago, Academy of Chocolate Awards in United Kingdom awarded Silver to the Malagos 100 percent pure unsweetene­d chocolate and Bronze for Malagos 65 percent Dark Chocolate and Malagos 72 percent Dark Chocolate, respective­ly. Their 85 percent Malagos Dark Chocolate also received commendati­on during the same competitio­n.
