Made from sugar cane juice, muscovado is a sticky, coarse, unrefined sugar that - unlike granulated or other brown sugars - retains its molasses, giving it its distinctive tone, taste and texture. This unique bar is neither dark nor white chocolate, but a unique "tanned" creation made from Philippine muscovado sugar, cacao butter, milk powder, and roasted Philippine cacao nibs, which are ground into the chocolate and sprinkled on the back. Its name combines “Morena,” a term historically used to describe Filipinas with tanned or brown skin, and “Reyna,” the Spanish and Tagalog word for “Queen.” The bar's tanned skin colour lies halfway between typical dark and white chocolate. It impeccably blends roasted cocoa with milky sweetness, fruity sugarcane, and hints of dried fruit, nutmeg, and molasses. This is hands-down one of the most innovative bars we carry, both conceptually and in its execution. Plus it's frickin' delicious.
