which it's made.  There are no additives whatsoever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make this powder we start with the same single origin beans we use to make our award-winning chocolate bars.  This

Hot Cocoa","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn our trips to Central America we were often given a drink made with cacao and allspice, which is known as \"Pimienta Gorda\" (fat pepper) in Spanish.  Adding local spices was a common way to make \"chocolatl,\" a drink which was, for thousands of years, the primary way people consumed cacao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gnf-featured-product-toggle\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of chocolatl is fascinating, dating back thousands of years to the Olmecs, Mayans and finally the Aztecs.  For more of the story check out our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\"Brief History of Cacao\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epage!  Although traditional chocolatl doesn't include sugar, this hot cocoa is a sweet and savory way to experience the spiced flavors which are present in the historically significant drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all our hot cocoas we've freshly pressed this cacao powder ourselves, from the same directly sourced single origin beans we use to make our bars.  We're one of the only chocolate makers who do this!  It's not alkalized and there are no additives, so in addition to the savory, spicy flavors of the pimienta you can also taste the true flavor notes of the cacao.  This is the perfect hot cocoa for curling up in front of a warm fire!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Spice Is So Nice!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the name implies, allspice has hints of a number of different spices in its flavor profile, including cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.   We love using \"local\" favors, and it's also the only spice which grows only in the Western Hemisphere.   We source this particular Pimienta Gorda from the single origin spice masters at\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca

notes, but the overall sensory experience is rich and vibrant with even more natural flavors because we never alkalize or use additives.  Most hot cocoa is alkalized, which means it’s washed with a solution of potassium carbonate.  This process allows the cocoa powder to dissolve in milk or water more easily, but significantly alters the flavor.  Alkalizing also removes a significant amount of the natural flavanols, which are compounds that play a significant role in the beneficial effects of eating cacao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur cocoa is NOT alkalized.  You may need to stir your
