Coming from the Spanish word “tablea” meaning tablet, chocolate tablea is a pure chocolate packed in tablet form. It is made up of cocoa beans, roasted and grinded until it makes a thick paste. Alternatively spelled as “tableya”, these chocolate disks make the traditional Filipino hot chocolate drink and other Filipino chocolate food items. Healthy, pure tablea from Batangas. Get pure cacao, that's pure chocolate, no additives or sweetener added and also no extraction of cocoa butter. Our tablea is from fermented and dried cacao beans from our farm and neighboring cacao farmers. We roast and grind the cacao beans until smooth. This translates to fine flavored and smooth hot chocolate drink or traditional filipino tablea drink that youcan enjoy.
How To Use Tablea
To make traditional Filipino hot chocolate, add 1 - 2 tablets in 1 cup hot water or milk. Add brown sugar or coconut sugar or any preferred sweetener.
For a thicker consistency, add 2-3 tablets in 2 cups boiling water, dissolve and let simmer for 10 minutes or until thick. Add sweetener and fresh milk if desired. Boil for another 2 minutes. Whisk using a batirol or wire whisk before serving.
Our chocolate tablea can also be melted and used for champorado (chocolate rice porridge), brownies, cupcakes, cookies and other chocolate delicacies, giving it the traditional chocolate taste.
