ALMAR HOT CHOCOLATE

The chocolate of the Mayans and Aztecs

The distant Maya and Aztec cultures knew the cocoa plant and created a cold drink based on cocoa beans, spices and water, which they used as an excitatory, like our coffee.

Chocolate in the world

The cocoa drink became popular in Europe after being introduced from Mexico to the New World, and has undergone several changes since then. It has become a hot and sweet drink.

Chocolate and health

Different beneficial virtues have always been attributed to drinking chocolate, cold or hot.

It’s definitely exciting and invigorating. In some historical periods it was also used to fight stomach pain.
Doctors and dietologists are inclined to consider hot chocolate as a healthy drink for the body. To be enjoyed at different times of the day: as an energetic breakfast, as a refreshing snack or in the evening before going to bed.

The flavors of chocolate

In Italy we prefer it dense, with milk and we consider it not only a solution for the perfect winter snack, but also the essential drink to start a day with a full dose of energy.

Served with or without whipped cream, more or less dense, it is available in the classic sweet, bitter and white chocolate flavors and in other delicious variations.

Almar quality

As many people know by now,  the quality of a product depends first and foremost on the ingredients it contains. This is why it is very important to read the labels of the products we purchase carefully.

Almar has always been particularly health-conscious and offers a hot chocolate made with only four carefully selected natural ingredients:

• cocoa 22/24
• sugar
• cornstarch
• vanillin

No potato starch, no modified starches, no salt and no cocoa butter.

Those who want to pay attention to their health, even indulging in a pleasure, can choose hot chocolate with Aloe. This Almar preparation in single-dose sachets contains the beneficial properties of aloe while keeping the taste of chocolate intact.

As we always point out, Almar products do not contain hydrogenated fats and are suitable for vegetarians.
