Special hot and creamy chocolates: which ones to offer to your customers in winter?

Winter has now arrived, the season has changed and with it also the requests of your customers, among these there are certainly: particular chocolates with a different taste than usual.

This is the period of hot tea and chocolates, but over time there are more and more people who want to order peculiar as well as delicious flavors of chocolate.

If you feel like diversifying your offer, offering a range of products that are not only high quality, but also meet the tastes of your customers. You have to choose the best hot chocolates to offer in your bar.

Particular types of chocolate: the best for a drink

We said that to prepare hot chocolates that have flavor and are of good quality, it is very important to choose the right chocolate, but what are the characteristics it must have?

The best and tastiest hot chocolate can only be found at taste specialists, where a wide choice also becomes synonymous with excellent quality. The chocolate must be made with excellent chocolate, such as 22/24 cocoa from the Netherlands Antilles.

Almar offers a selection of gluten- and lactose-free hot chocolates, with only four ingredients in order to delight the palate of even the most demanding customers.

You must always choose optimal qualities of chocolate for your customers. You can start with the choice from the most used qualities to the most particular ones. Over time, in fact, many master chocolatiers have studied and experimented to give a more particular character to these varieties of chocolate.

Among these there are single-portion chocolates: dark, classic, hazelnut, nougat, rum, mint, strawberry, ginger, zabaglione, gianduia, marron glacé, coconut and caramel.

Hot chocolate at the bar: the most special

Now that we have seen the specific types of chocolate that exist and what their main characteristics are, let’s find out which qualities are most requested by customers!

In fact, although with Almar’s single-portion chocolates you can offer a truly vast offering, there are some truly delicious products that always win over customers’ tastes. Therefore, here are two slightly particular proposals most appreciated by customers: the hot chocolate for bars: white and chilli.

White hot chocolate

If your customers are looking for a drink that is particular and very tasty, you can’t help but offer a nice white hot chocolate.

Almar offers the Cortina chocolate mix. Produced with high quality Netherlands Antilles cocoa, this preparation contains only four ingredients, so it is very natural. It is also without colourants, preservatives or additives.

Completely vegan, it contains neither gluten nor lactose, which makes it perfect to satisfy every need, including those of those who are intolerant as well as vegans.

To prepare it, simply mix a sachet with the milk mixture and pour the mixture into the chocolate maker or single-portion chocolate maker and start the machine. In a few seconds you will have a drink ready to taste, to be served strictly in a very hot cup.

Chilli hot chocolate

Do your customers like strong, bold flavors and are you looking for a particular chocolate? Then try the chilli chocolate! The perfect product for sweet and spicy lovers, in fact, is the chili pepper hot chocolate. Prepared with dark chocolate and a mixture dedicated to chili pepper, this will have the right touch of “spicy” to your chocolate.

We always recommend preparations from Almar. We already said that they are completely natural, but what you didn’t know is that they are free of GMOs, hydrogenated fats and palm oil.

Chocolate, from a nutritional point of view, is a product rich in quality, so the absence of these substances means that you can offer an optimal product that also meets their tastes.
