Filipions Biscuits white chocolate 135g x 12

Product Information

Sure, it could arguably simply have been lost in translation —chocolate negro meaning dark chocolate—but anybody with basic knowledge of world history could see how it might be misconstrued in the global context.

Made with delicious ingredients and perfect to enjoy on the go, serve these crackers with a variety of dips, cheese, chutney or sauces to suit your taste! Filipinos (the snack) is manufactured by Artiach, a company based in the town of Orozko, in the Basque Country of Northern Spain.Though the Filipinos snack isn't exactly permanently at the forefront of our collective consciousness (the Lord knows we have more at stake), the fact that it continues to be sold elsewhere in the world means that every so often, it gets brought up.

Those deeply aware of Filipino colonial history are most likely to be insulted by the—let’s just say—explicit packaging, or at the very least likely to give it some major side-eye. Their authentic dark chocolate is perfect for enjoying those special moments: dinners with friends, a movie night at home or an evening on the terrace. These scrumptious biscuits are infused with the tangy taste of red berries and generously coated with smooth, creamy white chocolate. Traditionally long and thin, resembling a cat’s tongue (hence its name), the beloved Baguio biscuit is beautifully buttery and crisp, with a crave-worthy melt-in-your-mouth character that makes it impossible to stop at just one.See also: Bread Lovers, Do You Know the Difference Between a Pâtisserie, Boulangerie, and Viennoiserie? When the biscuits somehow made their way into the local market two decades later in 2019, it was met with similar ire. A thin, elongated biscuit roll popular in Iloilo, barquillos (meaning ‘little boats’) are of Spanish origin, though the Spanish counterpart has a grid-like wafer pattern that the smooth, local variant lacks.
