The Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) had launched four new variants of its Ready-to-Drink (RTD) native chocolate product line.
Developed by the Institute's Food Processing Division (FPD), these shelf-stble drinks had been introduced during a product press launch last February 22, 2024 in Bicutan, Taguig City.
The four variants are developed from the Philippine tablea pronounced as tableya). Tablea de batirol, sikwate or tablea-eh is a native Filipino tsokolate drink traditionally prepared in a pot over medium fire and stirred using a batirol to produce a frothy drink. (A batirol is a wooden tool used to mix the drink before serving to prevent bits of tablea from sinking to the bottom of the pot.)
The chocolate beverage is made from three basic ingredients: pure, finely ground cacao beans that is molded into a ball called tablea, water, and sugar. The use of pure tablea gives the drink a rich, dark, and bitter chocolate flavor.
