Organic Hot Cocoa 42%
Shaken, not stirred. Or vice versa. The advantage of powdered cocoa is that it takes exactly as much time to prepare as you want. If you like to play, you can stir it and pour hot milk over it. If you are in a hurry, just mix a few spoonfuls with milk in a shaker. If you feel like spicing it up, add rum. If you're hungry, add whipped cream. How will you enjoy your hot cocoa?

Ingredients
Cocoa powder BIO, Cane sugar BIOTaste & Crema
Hot chocolate powder with 42% cocoa and a pinch of cane sugar tastes deliciously warml and soft.
Origins
It only takes two plants to make hot cocoa powder. Of course, it cannot be done without hard work and special machines, but the blend of high-quality cocoa and cane sugar is ultimately a simple composition of raw materials in their purest form. What is more, both come from organic farming.
The cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and Africa. They need fertile soil, plenty of sunlight and protection from the wind. This evergreen plant can grow up to 10m but is kept low on plantations. It has long leaves, branches covered with hairs, and blooms pinkish-white, usually twice a year. The fruit of the cocoa tree is about 20cm long and has ridges. Inside are the seeds, the cocoa beans. They are about 2cm long and must be harvested by hand. The beans are inedible when raw. They are therefore left to ferment (for a week at most) and then dried.
The pre-prepared product goes to the factory. The beans are roasted, crushed and pressed. The result is cocoa butter and cocoa powder. Cocoa has an important role in history. The Aztecs used the bean as currency and cocoa beverage was considered sacred. It was drunk only by men and referred to as cacahuatl (bitter water). It was not until the 16th century that cocoa beans reached Europe, first at the Spanish royal court. It was not until the 17th century that their use spread to France and other countries.
Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is a massive reed-like grass. It can grow up to 6m tall. Its stalks are divided by knees and contain piths with high sugar content. The cane is harvested either by hand using machetes or by machine. In either case, the plant must be processed within 24 hours. Its stalks are crushed and pressed, with the juice flowing out. They are allowed to evaporate until light brown crystals (cane sugar) appear. 9-13 tons of sugar can be produced from 100 tons of sugarcane. It thrives in subtropical and tropical regions.
Cocoa powder in our hot cocoa comes from the Dominican Republic, and cane sugar from Paraguay.
