Spreading the joy of delightful chocolate goodness

By Johanna Añes-de la Cruz, The Philippine STAR Published Dec 14, 2023 9:30 am

When it comes to food, we Filipinos couldn’t get enough of anything sweet—comforting desserts like halo-halo, leche flan, and ice cream, for instance, are cherished by almost everyone.

Another food item loved by most Pinoys, young and not-so-young alike, is chocolate. We love it so much that we even found a way to eat it with rice through our beloved champorado!

Recognizing our enduring love for the delectable treat, Gardenia began offering in 2017 its very own chocolate spread that can satisfy our cravings anytime, anywhere. A brand trusted by many Filipinos for their freshly baked and nutritious bread that’s “masarap kahit walang palaman,” Gardenia aspires to bring even more delicious smiles to each one of us with Delicia Chocolate Spread.

It is the result of Gardenia’s steadfast commitment to quality, innovation, and ensuring that Filipinos get to eat deliciously well.

Satisfying everyday cravings

Feeling a sudden craving for anything chocolate? Gardenia Delicia comes in a 200g tub that is perfect for families with young kids. Mom and dad can just grab it from the pantry whenever sweet o’clock strikes.

Gardenia Delicia dip for your fresh fruits

Gardenia’s Delicia Chocolate Spread is also available in affordable 30g sachet packs that you can take with you anywhere—at work, during your daily commute, or when you’re on vacation. You can even enjoy it straight from the pack, just like how we did with chocolate cream sticks back when we were kids.

To make things even more exciting, Delicia Chocolate Spread comes in two flavors, Hazelnut and Milky Chocolate, adding an extra dose of goodness to an already decadent treat. If you’re craving something with a nutty profile, go for the Hazelnut variant. If it’s classic chocolate fun you’re looking for, then Delicia Milky Chocolate Spread with its thick, creamy, and familiar milky chocolate flavor would be your best choice.

With Gardenia’s wide array of bread products coupled with its Delicia Chocolate Spread, striking the right balance between a filling and indulgent meal is always within reach. 

A pair made in chocolate heaven

Gardenia’s Classic White Bread, for instance, remains a pantry staple in many households because of its great taste, freshly baked aroma, and signature soft texture. It's a good source of vitamin A, vitamin B1, Iodine, and Folate, plus it also contains Calcium, Iron, and vitamin B3, making it an invaluable food item for busy parents who aspire to prepare nourishing meals for the family.

And with the arrival of Delicia Chocolate Spread, the iconic Gardenia Classic White Bread has finally met its perfect match. Like a pair made in chocolate heaven, you’re in for an irresistible combination that’s not only delicious and satisfying but also won’t break the bank.

Enjoy everyday indulgence with Delicia and your favorite Gardenia bread.

As a pair to Gardenia’s world-class bread, Delicia Chocolate Spread is made with real cocoa, milk, and other premium ingredients that give it a distinct and rich chocolate taste.

With its affordable goodness, you can have this delicious pair for breakfast, dessert, merienda, and even as a midnight snack.

It is also easy to spread and has a creamy feel, highlighting the freshness and satisfying texture of the Gardenia Classic White Bread.

With chocolates being an effective mood booster, Delicia brings just the right sweetness that you’re looking for in comfort food, perfect for everyday indulgence.

Deliciously versatile

Aside from the Classic White Bread, you can also pair Delicia Chocolate Spread with Gardenia’s full-to-the-bite Premium Pandesal or the delightfully soft Clustered Pandesal.

Delightfully delicious holidays
