I remember when i used to spend my summers with my lola and cousins. We do the grinding once she completed roasting the cocoa beans. I pretty much know the process of creating tablea but the best thing is having to do it with them — my lola and cousins…

Live on, Lola…

Does anyone know where to buy a good quality cast-iron tsokolatera/chocolatera with a good wooden batirol? My mom inherited her family’s cast-iron tsokolatera and batirol from her Pampanga house which we use now to cook up a traditional holiday serving of a thick nutty-choco ground chocolate paste we source from Pampanga. I’ve always wanted to have that tsokolatera someday but my older sister is trying to own it already!—so I want to see if I could just buy my own and whip up my own hot chocolate with out haveing to argue as to who will inherit the traditional batirol and tsokolatera!

i just made brownies with a marshmallow and chocolate topping. instead of the imported chocolate chips, i coarsely chopped around 10 tablea disks (each disk as large as a polvoron) for the chocolate topping. (i also added barako to the brownie mix for a pinoy brownie.)

the tablea chips didn’t taste bitter at all – but definitely not sweet – just chocolatey. the tablea provided just the right crunch to balance the ooziness of the melted marshmallow.

hello!

just like you guys, i also love chocolate in any form :)

with hot cocoa, i have tried antonio pueo and the one from cebu in green package where you get from the grocery. i thought then they were good, BUT nothing compares to the one we’re having now which is roasted, locally grown, and 100% pure cacao. it’s the BEST so far… the price is 250 pesos per pack (1/2 kilo).

for orders, you may call/text me at 0917-5308942. or email: aimsqsun@gmail.com
