Product Story

This is the grated hot chocolate mix that descends from the original Mesoamerican Xocatl encountered by explorers during the Age of Discovery. It is made in Catalonia, Spain by a chocolatier that began importing raw cocoa beans from the Americas in 1770 when chocolate was only palatable as a sweetened, spiced liquid—hardened cocoa paste was too bitter and dry to eat as a solid and did not appear in its current form until the mid-19th century. This 60% cocoa mix is made using traditional methods: raw, fermented beans are roasted in an oak-fired oven, crushed and combined with sugar, rice flour, cinnamon, and vanilla in a granite stone mixer into a paste, and then grated into a fine powder. Comes in a 17 1/2 oz. tin.
