Valor: High Quality Spanish Chocolates Now In The Philippines

Valor Dark Chocolate Mousse with Truffle, Valor Milk Chocolate Chocolat Au Lait, and Sugar Free Neopolitans with Stevia

It looks like we're in for a very sweet year as the number 1 chocolate brand from Spain just landed Philippine shores. Valor, a brand coined by its founder Valeriano Lopez Lloret, had his family of master chocolatiers to passionately create the best chocolate products since 1881. It continued to thrive until it's fifth generation today; and now they're gearing up for introducing it to the world by releasing it internationally and still having the same quality as it comes out fresh from bean to bar as guided by the same principles of the Lloret family business.

Valor's chocolatiers import their cacao beans from only three places. It comes from Ghana (Forastero), Ecuador (Guayaquil) and Panama (Trinitario) all of which are world class sources of this fine product. Valor’s central factory is in Villajoyosa Spain, and this is where every bean goes through a process making it the highest quality possible. It's also made of all natural raw materials and used with even natural sweeteners in order to produce the world's finest chocolates. They also released the latest in their line of products, they now Sugar Free choices! They use the plant called Stevia which comes from South America. It is said to be 15 times sweeter than ordinary sugar but its got zero glycemic index, nothing that other sugar free artificial sweeteners can do in this time and age. It's the right time everybody enjoys these guilt free choices, all of which can be bought in leading supermarkets and stores nationwide!

Oh and before I forget, if you haven't found the perfect hazelnut choco spread yet, Valor has 130 years of experience to concoct the best one I've tasted so far. Plus, it's got NO Sugar Added making it au naturelle and so good in each bite. I am just stopping myself from finishing this whole jar because I want to have more in the next few days. I am not joking.... you should go ahead and find this on the counters and treat your family to something really good. It's even good on bananas which I put inside sandwiches at home.

It's so good and I'm going to enjoy the chocolate bars for dessert, hey don't stop me! It's guilt and sugar free remember?! :)

McCormick Bread Spread: The End To Bland!

I cook. I have been for the past few years and one of the staples in the kitchen are spices. I can't live without them because it tells who I am through food. Taste is defined by the choices you make and since we are in a tropical country, we don't have that much available locally. Good thing there's McCormick!

Imagine, this is their 150th year of providing the highest quality ingredients to flavor every dish in our table. Just last weekend we were given a treat at Bonifacio High Street's Fully Booked where they showed some remarkable additions to their arsenal. Have you seen them on your local groceries already?

If you have been tiring yourself endlessly putting butter over rye and crushing garlic before spreading over it, then this is your best friend. McCormick has launched their Bread Spreads line. Now all you need to do is pop up the lid and put it on your favorite crusted bread. Nothing fancy, just plain easy. I had this for starters and I loved how it was priced. This only costs 75 Philippine Pesos in the retail market. The Garlic flavor was awesome, but there was actually more...

Oh just mention pesto and I'm there. This is actually my favorite pasta condiment but now that it's easy to spread on bread, it'll be a good comfort food other than preparing the whole dish instead. I should probably try this on pasta and see what it'll taste like.

Sorry the sun kinda had this shot too shiny haha. But this is the Herb Parmesan Bread Spread. This is my favorite out of the three they have released. I thought it was just for bread though, I didn't know it had other surprises in store.

They actually used it to cook. Yes you heard that right, they used these bread spreads to flavor those dishes you usually have to use a lot of ingredients to prepare. Imagine your pasta, with garlic and pesto from these tubes. It was surprisingly yummy! I had a couple of servings of the Chicken with prepared with the pesto spread too.

 See what you can do with the new McCormick Bread Spreads? From mains, pastas to salads they can always be your buddy. It's time they put an end to bland and make flavor a number one priority on your kitchen! Best of all it's ZERO TRANS FAT!

So make sure if you are looking for Herbs and Spices, Seasoning Mixes, Blends, Extracts and Food Colors, Grill Mates Seasonings, Gourmet Collection, Seafood Seasonings and Sauces you must buy McCormick. It's the only thing on my pantry, it should be the same on yours!
