Welcome to Auro Chocolate !

The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines is pleased to welcome its newest Corporate Member, Auro Chocolate!

Auro Chocolate is an internationally awarded premium tree-to-bar company rooted in sustainability through direct trade with Filipino farmers, specializing in quality cacao beans as well as retail and institutional chocolate products available globally. Its name originates from the combination of “Au” which is the chemical symbol of Gold in the periodic table, and “Oro” which is the Filipino and Spanish word for gold. Auro represents the pursuit to refine Philippine cacao and elevate the lives of our local farmers who are as precious as gold.

Kelly Go and Mark Ocampo are the Co-Founders and Managing Directors of Auro Chocolate. They are extremely passionate about all things chocolate. They both grew up in the Philippines and first met in Chicago over a decade ago and instantly bonded over their love of food and culture. They took an immersive course at the ZDS Institute in Germany to learn more about chocolate production from prominent professionals in the industry. In 2015, they decided to move back to home to start Auro and make a difference through fine chocolate.
