Celebrating National Chocolate Day with Choco-late de Batirol

Every cup of chocolate tells a story.

On National Chocolate Day, we celebrate not just the sweetness of this beloved drink but the heritage, craftsmanship, and heart behind every sip.

At Choco-late de Batirol, chocolate is more than a treat. It is a piece of Filipino culture that continues to thrive in every mug we serve. Our signature hot chocolate is made the traditional way, using the batirol, a wooden whisk used to hand-blend rich, local cacao into a smooth, thick, and comforting drink. This method has been passed down through generations, preserving the authentic taste that connects us to our roots.

Every time you take a sip, you are tasting the dedication of Filipino cacao farmers, the richness of our land, and the warmth of tradition. It is a drink that feels like home, reminding us of quiet mornings, cool afternoons, and the simple joy of sharing a cup with loved ones.

As the world celebrates National Chocolate Day, we invite you to celebrate the Filipino way with a cup of tsokolate batirol. It is more than just chocolate; it is a tribute to culture, community, and the timeless comfort of something made by hand, from the heart.

Celebrate National Chocolate Day with Choco-late de Batirol, where every sip tells our story.
