Dairy Box<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you visit Bohol’s iconic Chocolate Hills, stop by\u00a0Dairy Box<\/strong> for\u00a0their delicious chocolate milk, yogurt drinks, and Caramilk ice cream. The products are made with\u00a0Carabao\u00a0<\/em>milk that’s processed by the Philippine Carabao Center. At Dairy Box, you’ll be able to sample creamy\u00a0Chocomilk (Php 55),\u00a0<\/b>savory Caramilk Ice cream, and fermented Yogurt Drinks (Php 45)<\/strong>. Prices of the products at the store range from Php 45 to Php 55<\/strong> only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For every purchase you make, you give back to the local farmers of the\u00a0Tamboan Farmers Multi-purpose Cooperative as the proceeds made from the items help support the farmers’ agricultural livelihood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s advised that these products are consumed immediately after purchase as these are dairy products. If you plan on taking them home, remember to always check the expiration date and to store them in a cool and dry place.<\/p>\n

Tableya<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Made from Cacao,\u00a0Tableya\u00a0<\/strong>is unsweetened chocolate that’s commonly used to make a traditional Filipino chocolate drink called\u00a0Sikwate\u00a0<\/em>that’s normally served hot. This chocolate is a common sight in most Filipino households as families enjoy drinking\u00a0Sikwate\u00a0<\/em>until today. The drink is made by melting the Tableya in water over a hot pan and is normally served without sugar or sweetener. You’ll find Tableya in groceries, department stores, souvenir shops and mini-marts all over Bohol. But if you’re in Tagbilaran City, you must try the Tableya produced by\u00a0Dalareich Chocolate House<\/strong>, Bohol’s first chocolate factory that produces farm-to-shelf Tableya.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0traditional packaged Tableya will cost around <\/span>P25 to P75<\/b>, while those in bigger packages cost about <\/span>P175 to P700<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
