Choco-Late de Batirol Proudly Supports the Adivay Festival Medical Mission

On November 24, 2024, Choco-Late de Batirol had the honor of being one of the sponsors of the Adivay Festival Medical Mission, a remarkable initiative held at the BSU Gym in La Trinidad, Benguet. This impactful event, organized by the La Trinidad Valley Eagles Club under the leadership of Sir Gregorio Anthony and Sir Peter Sianen with the support of Cordillera Eagles Region 1 led by Sir Gov. Ferdinand Moldero, brought healthcare services closer to the heart of the community.

From 9 AM to 3 PM, the gym buzzed with activities that showcased the spirit of service and solidarity. Healthcare professionals and volunteers worked hand in hand to provide essential medical care to the residents of Benguet, all under the vibrant theme of the Adivay Festival—a Embracing Our Heritage: Co-creating a Healthier Benguet.

The success of the medical mission showcased the power of collaboration. The La Trinidad Valley Eagles Club partnered with local government units, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, civic groups, and dedicated volunteers, including the Municipality of La Trinidad, MOMFI, Kalinga Party List, Lions Clubs, JCI BLISTT, BSU, and the Philippine Red Cross, among others. Together, they brought essential medical services to the heart of the community.

What Makes Choco-Late de Batirol Different?

At Choco-Late de Batirol, we go beyond just mixing cocoa powder and sugar. We craft each cup of hot chocolate from real, fermented cacao beans. This traditional method isn’t just about flavor; it’s about preserving the history and culture behind Filipino chocolate-making. Our hot chocolate has a depth that tells a story with every sip.

The Secret to Our Flavor: Fermentation

Fermentation is a key step in making our hot chocolate. After cacao beans are harvested, they’re left to ferment for several days. This natural process allows the beans to unlock their full flavor potential, transforming their initial bitterness into rich layers of fruity, nutty, and earthy notes. The result? A drink that’s smooth, bold, and brimming with unique flavors.

Without fermentation, chocolate would taste quite plain and bitter. But through fermentation, the cacao beans develop a balanced sweetness and depth that makes our hot chocolate stand out.

Why Fermented Cacao Tastes Better

Instead of relying on sugar and additives like many powdered hot chocolates, our hot choco keeps it real. The fermented cacao brings a complex, robust flavor that doesn’t need artificial help. Each cup of Choco-Late de Batirol is pure and powerful, capturing the cacao’s natural richness and smoothness.

Plus, we use a traditional wooden whisk called a batirol to mix our hot chocolate. This helps create a creamy, frothy texture, adding even more depth to the experience.

Healthier Hot Chocolate with Every Sip

Fermented cacao isn’t just delicious; it’s packed with nutrients too. Cacao beans are full of antioxidants, magnesium, and other good stuff that can benefit your heart, brain, and energy levels. Because our cacao is fermented, these nutrients become easier for your body to absorb, making our hot choco a healthier choice.

And while many other hot chocolates rely on added sugars and artificial ingredients, Choco-Late de Batirol is all-natural. You get pure cacao with all the benefits, no fillers needed.

A Cup of Tradition in Every Sip

For us, each cup of hot chocolate isn’t just a drink; it’s a connection to Filipino heritage. Our methods for making hot chocolate have been passed down through generations, keeping the essence of Filipino tradition alive in every cup. When you visit Choco-Late de Batirol, you’re not just tasting chocolate—you’re tasting history.

Why Ordinary Hot Chocolate Just Can’t Compare

Whether you’re looking for a cozy treat, a healthier hot chocolate, or a taste of authentic Filipino culture, Choco-Late de Batirol offers something special. Our hot chocolate isn’t just about warming you up; it’s about giving you a drink that’s rich in flavor, history, and nutrition.
