Another more common name for Palo is Five-spices Powder and it is one of the crucial ingredients in Asian cuisine. It is a mixture of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, and fennel seeds. It encompasses all five tastes—sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. PARADAi’s multimedia visions of the Thai heritage are transcendental and yet immediately familiar. Juxtaposing iconic, exotic, and tropical elements of Thailand, we knew this unmistakable style would be a perfect fit for this exclusive Hello Chocolate collection of the best craft chocolate from around the world. This full-package set features single-origin bars land Thai-flavours-infused Palo Five Spices 70% chocolates featuring PARADAi’s artwork galloping picturing Asian patterns and gods, with the silhouettes of cacao pods—three of PARADAi’s most distinctive physical features—towering in the background.
