Godel Chocolate: A Philippine Brand

 

Godel is a trademark of JCG Marketing Group, Inc. which is  located at KM 19 East Service Road, Brgy. San Martin de Porres Paranaque City,Philippines. I and fellow on line media had an invitation to tour in July 6, 2021 Godel Chocolate Factory thru Dr Ver Garcia (Phd) as members of Bloggers Association of the Philippines. Ms. Marie of Godel Chocolate and their staff welcomed us warmly upon arrival at the site. A brief orientation about safety and health protocol was conducted.

Head and shoe covers were handed out before ushering us to the main factory. Ascending the staircase the chocolate fragrance filled the air triggering a sweet feeling in me. Traditional Tsokolate made of Tablea was offered before beginning the proper tour. The tablea drink perks up the start of the viewing of the entire process of production of cacao bean to the finished choco bar.

South Cotabato Organic fermented cacao beans are manually sorted out to separate the good cacao that is to be used, then it passes through different equipment and technology such as roasting, cracking, winnowing in the feeding machine, refining, conching, colloid mill, nut butter grinder, refiner, ball mill melanger, tempering, dosing moulding, cooling in the chiller, retarder proofer, cooling tunnel, demoulding then finally to packing. Which by the way, all these line of equipment for chocolate makers from sorting to packaging are all available for sale at Godel Solutions.

After the very infomative, interesting and enjoyable viewing of  bean-to-Bar Chocolate production, comes the much awaited part of all, unboxing and tasting of the finished products of Godel Chocolate: 

Hot Chocolate Bomb with Marshmallows- pouring the hot water in the egg shaped choco emerges a handful of white marshmallows.

70% Chocolate Bar

50% Chocolate Bar

50% Chocolate Bar

Cacao Tea 

Salted Caramel Chocolate

Chocolate with whole almonds

Chocolate with coco jam filling-which to me is the "star" of the buffet choco tasting, it really pleasured my taste buds and healthy eating diet.

A Happy Chocolatey Day Everyone!

Hidden Hills Farm by Josefino: A Day Tour

 

The sunrise beakon to a lovely day for us tag media group enroute to Hidden Hills Farm by Josefino. Taking a break from the  summer heat of the metro.

 On our way to the South and with the weather forecast of a rainy day, we were weary on how can the farm tour be enjoyable. Since rain came pouring in while approaching the place.

 Upon reaching our destination Eng Grace Bondad Nicolas warmly greeted us with a gift of pink shirt for us to wear in touring the farm. Then we proceeded to the farm, where a sumptuous lunch was being prepared for the group. After a hearty meal the rain stopped, signaling us to view the different fruit bearing trees.

 We got to taste the ripe casoy, the juiciness of the yellow ripen fruit and it's sweetness.

 There was the golden star apple that is also ready for picking. When the color turns golden or yellowish it is ready to be eaten. And the leaves are also saleable since it helps those with cancer.

 The Lipote fruit a variety of duhat is also abundant. It is eaten with salt, shaken in a container and ready to serve. It has medicinal value for those who has diabetes, high blood pressure and hypertension.

 All the plants and fruits in the farm are organic. Several fruit bearing trees abound in the place. 

The fresh air with the view of Mount Makiling and being surrounded by delicious and nutritious bounty harvest was indeed a day you'll reckon and wish to live in a piece of Shangrila. When September comes the Lanzones trees are ready for fruit picking. Looking forward  to this harvest time.

Grateful to the hospitality of the entire family of Hidden Hills Farm Of Josefino even "Mommy Bear" the mother of Eng Grace gave us fruits inside a vase perhaps reminding us to plant a tree and be able to contribute to a greener world. It was indeed an enjoyable and educational tour.

 Come and experience the beauty of nature located at 1 Barangay Imok, Calauan, Laguna via Barangay Mabacan. Boundary of Balay hangin and Mabacan.
