WORLD CHOCOLATE FAIR RETURNS BIGGER, SWEETER

EXPERIENCE an out-of-this-world celebration of World Chocolate Day as Auro's World Chocolate Fair returns with a bigger and sweeter comeback

The five-day event lets chocoholics enjoy sweet treats and pastries from 12 local brands that have incorporated the delectable taste of Auro Chocolate.

“We want to push the boundaries of what cacao and chocolate can be, and we’re really proud that our partner brands keep bringing something different,” said Kelly Go, co-founder of Auro

“We started with cold-pressed juices and salads in 2014 and gradually expanded to carry more healthier on-the-go meals as our market grew," she said.

Plant-based cooking, she said, takes a lot of creativity and unlearning.
