DAVAO CITY (PNA) – An international chocolate producer will launch Belcolade, the real Belgian chocolate with a single origin of cacao beans exclusively sourced from Davao.
Bernard Poplimont, the area director for South East Asia of Puratos, told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) that Belcolade will be manufactured in their factory in Erembodegem in Belgium.
Puratos is an international group offering a full range of innovative products, raw materials and application expertise to the bakery, patisserie and chocolate sectors with its headquarters just outside Brussels (Belgium).
Belcolade, the real Belgian chocolate, is produced exclusively in Belgium following a long tradition of craftsmanship, quality and refinement.
Poplimont said the product would be launched this year and would be marketed worldwide. Belcolade is made from carefully selected cocoa beans using production processes that have been perfected over time, assuring its exquisite taste.
Poplimont said Puratos also developed Chocolante Philippines with 62 percent dark chocolate from cacao beans sourced only from Calinan, this city.
Chocolante is used for baking, confectionery, chocolate bars, and similar other products. He said the brand Chocolante is a regional chocolate in which the beans used in processing like the Chocolante Philippines only come from Davao.
