【 A journey of Love, Passion & Dedication- the Cacao Queen of Philippines 】
Edu, the man in-charge of the marketing and communications, welcomed us with some trivia about the business. Ms Raquel then joined us after few moments and started showing us her art, chocolate making.
She used the mortar and pestle to ground the nibs until it attains the desired texture and smell. Some parts of the pounded nibs were rolled round, using merely her artistic and delicate hands. Imagine the effort and love she put in every chocolate she makes. The rounded cocoa mass is called tablea which she set aside for further use. It could be shredded to top drinks, pastries, and other sweets.
The other part were mixed with milk, “conched”, and then molded into bite-sized bars.
After several demos, Ms Raquel share with us with her creations. We were guided to a separate room, a dine-in table is set up exclusively for distinguished guests
She personally shook and melted a chocolate bar in hot milk using a sealed canister. Poured it in a classy porcelain cup and topped it with grated tablea to serve us. Then an artistry High-Tea started 😜
A bite of the oatmeal chocolate cookies was a winning munch. It was crunchy at first, then eventually turned a bit chewy. The sweetness will not overwhelm your senses, just enough to satisfy your cravings.
The chocolate peanut butter was a lot better than any other chocolate spread I’d tasted. It was blended perfectly
When a meaty and vegetarian pizza served , which crusts were chocolate-based. You may find it odd, but I promise you, it does not disappoint.
This journey has finally come to the end. When I tried this flourless cake - the cerveza negra cake: crunchy, nutty, bittersweet…….. Heaven!
Philippines finest chocolate maker!
