About this deal

Hernan and I both grew up as members of the Filipino diaspora, searching for reconnection and meaning. For many of us Filipinos growing up outside of the Philippines, it can feel like we’re grasping in the dark to have something to hold ourselves to the past and anchor us to the ancestral lands of our parents and grandparents. For Hernan, he grabbed hold of chocolate. For me, I found Filipino fashion. Honing the recipe through the years, their Tablea Pure only continues to bring high-quality delicacies to your doorstep. Cacao trees, which produce the pictured fruit, thrive in the Philippines. Shangri-La's Mactan Resort & Spa Once the millions of trees planted in the last few years begin finally producing, you can also expect to see literally tons more cacao available on the market. Hopefully much of this cacao will see value added at home rather than post-export. Some of you are like me and are very nostalgic about aspects of our childhood that bring us fond memories … like going to the store and buying some sinful (yet delicious) chocolate candy. Many of us still enjoy eating these chocolates even as adults! This can be true for many people around the world. But what about warm, tropical countries like the Philippines? I’ve heard people ask whether they produce chocolate in the Philippines. The answer is YES! Even in the warm, tropical weather they produce and sell popular Filipino chocolate candy in the Philippines. Here are some of the best chocolate candies and recipes that you need to get your hands on!

In addition to that, passing by the Ricoa Chocolate Factory is a treat in itself. Amidst the hustle and bustle of traffic, you can smell traces of their signature chocolate in the air! Flat Tops Filipinos have adopted the Spanish way of consuming chocolates, which is in the form of a drink. They made this by mixing water and tablea. What is Tablea? In 2019, Malagos Chocolate’s Puentespina Farm in Davao also became one of sixteen farms in the world to be given the Heirloom Cacao Designation . This elusive title is only assigned to endangered species of cacao trees which have been deemed to produce high quality, flavourful cacao, and which require special protection. Cups of the most delicious tablea I've ever had, on Gran Verde Family Farm in Davao City, prepared with coconut milk. History Of Tablea

This blog post was a special collaboration between Cambio & Co. and artisanal chocolate brand Oodaalolly to share the story of Filipino chocolate. Because of the Philippines’ close location to the equator and our lush, tropical climate, cacao trees grew in abundance. As the Spanish colonized and controlled more parts of the Philippines from Northern Luzon to Mindanao region, cacao trees spread, too. And so did the custom of drinking tsokolate amongst Filipinos.

Infusing forest valley flowers, dark honey, and caramelized nuts into its Paquibato-inspired tropical mountain mix, each bite is pure bliss.Be it from the sari-sari store, school canteen, or the nearby grocery—each piece is as sweet as childhood and as pleasant as an after-work reward! Hany Milk Chocolate This Antonio Pueo version is sold in either a tan or gold wrapper. It is sold as a log of eight tablets. This one is my favorite! Philippine cacao beans are said to be descended from a variety of high-quality Mexican beans. The Criollo variety is believed to be the first cacao tree planted in the country. Criollo is one of the rarest and most expensive varieties grown in Latin America and is subject to heavy scrutiny over the genetic purity of beans. Nearly 80% of the country's cacao is still grown in Mindanao, although that's slowly changing as farmers across the country begin to combat the recent downturn in cacao production & world cocoa prices. As the government's efforts at land redistribution have continued, many of the historically large cacao farms were broken up and redistributed to local landless people. Many of those new farmers in turn chose to cut down or ignore the cocoa already growing on the land, usually in favor of other seemingly more valuable crops.

Go for gold with Auro Chocolate, an elegant tree-to-bar chocolate brand based in Calamba City, Laguna.Though it was the first time Hernan and I actually spoke, within minutes I already felt a kinship towards him.
