Big Top

Big Top is one of the lesser known RICOA chocolate candies, taking the spot behind the way more popular Curly Tops and Flat Tops. These are sort of like the poor man’s M&Ms.

Cacao

Kakaw… Philippine cacao fruits can claim credit for some of the world’s best chocolates!

A tree crop that has been grown in the Philippines since the 17th century, cacao is the raw material for cocoa items like butter, powder, chocolate candy, and liqueurs.
