Chocolate Grand Cacao Drinking Chocolate, 10 oz

Ten out of five stars! Great product- they sent it in a box that was well packed. I order hard to get/find ingredients, and have been burned before by exploding cocoa containers. Not this time. Put this in your hot coffee (it won't dissolve in iced coffee) for a PERFECT, elegant mocha. That's what I got it for. Not to add to chili or mix into banana bread or anything. This is center stage chocolate. Guittard products are superior to Ghirardelli, while in the same price point ballbpark. Go out of your way and find Guittard.

Great stuff. Hard to find.

This is not hot chocolate. It is a thick, rich, creamy, foamy experience. Sipping chocolate in general is something anyone that likes chocolate at all should try at least once. This particular brand stands out. Its ability to form and hold a head of foam with a bit of whisking allows the flavor and aroma of very good chocolate to roll through your senses. I personally mix it with other sipping chocolates here and there to adjust the exact balance of thickness and depth of flavor, but this is one that can more than satisfy by itself.

Cocoa is dark and bitter. Following recipe on can is not very good to my taste. You do have to use a lot to get the chocolate flavor you want. Not a good vale for cost in my opinion

In this dismal epoch of confectionery claptrap, where the American palate is too often bludgeoned by mass-market dross, Guittard’s Grand Cacao Drinking Chocolate rises as a velvet-clad monument to gustatory redemption. This is no mere beverage but a silken sermon on indulgence, its sweetness calibrated with the fastidious precision of a Swiss horologist—neither the saccharine wail of soda-fountain swill nor the cloying treacle of lesser brews. The ingredients stand untainted by the chemical treachery that afflicts the common cocoa tin, delivering a purity to make a Burgundian vintner weep. Its texture, smooth as a confidence man’s patter, flows like liquefied luxury, so scandalously rich it might topple a Puritan on a bleak winter’s morn. True, its price flirts with extortion, prompting the prudent to clutch their purses in dismay, but this elixir delivers a pleasurable wallop that nearly justifies its princely ransom.

the best chocolate drink anywhere, love the HOT CACAO.

Love this. I put a half a teaspoon in my coffee with a little creamer and I have a Latte with paying 6-7 bucks

It was time for me to buy more hot chocolate and this time I was looking for something that was not too sweet. Basically something that was less than 10g of sugar so I could really taste the chocolate. I've been brewing ground cacao but it still lacks that rich hot chocolate texture and flavor love. This caught my eye since it uses ground chocolate. When it arrived, my dad was the first to try it. After just a couple sips, he told me we needed to buy 2 more. When I got my cup, I could definitely understand why. This is exactly what I was looking for! As some have mentioned, it's like bittersweet chocolate. I love the bitterness so much, I put less sugar (half a packet) than I usually do. I've made mocha with it using instant coffee. It was absolutely perfect. I've currently only used hot water but I know it would be even more decadent using milk or a milk substitute. Just like my dad suggested, I'll be buying 2 more. Maybe 3 since we both love it so much.

Best cocoa

Wonderful drinking chocolate!
