Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tsokolate Batirol?

What is tablea?
Tablea is pure, ground cacao beans formed into tablets; it is darker and less processed than Western cocoa powder.
Can I skip the milk?
Yes, traditional tsokolate is often made with only water for a bolder, more pronounced chocolate flavor.
What if I don't have a batirol?
A standard wire whisk works perfectly fine to achieve that essential frothy consistency.
