Ocelot Black Cherry Organic Dark Drinking Hot Chocolate 200g

Black Cherry Organic Hot Chocolate

Ocelot Black Cherry Organic Dark Drinking Hot Chocolate 200g is a rich and sophisticated drinking chocolate made from pure shavings of Ocelot's award-winning Black Cherry 70% Dark Chocolate, blended with a touch of raw cane sugar. The result is a deeply satisfying hot chocolate with layers of dark cocoa, subtle smokiness and the fragrant sweetness of black cherries.

Crafted using rare Amelonado cocoa beans grown by a regenerative farming cooperative in Virunga National Park, Eastern Congo, this organic drinking chocolate offers a luxurious texture and a complex flavour profile that sets it apart from ordinary hot chocolate. The combination of tart black cherry and rich dark chocolate creates a balanced drink that feels indulgent without being overly sweet. At i4C, we love serving it as an after-dinner treat or using it to add a chocolate-cherry twist to desserts and speciality coffees. Presented in a beautifully illustrated reusable tin, it also makes a thoughtful foodie gift and a welcome addition to luxury gift hampers.

Why does black cherry work so well in drinking chocolate?

Black cherry brings natural fruitiness and gentle tartness that balance the richness of dark chocolate. The combination creates a more complex flavour profile than traditional hot chocolate, with layers of cocoa, fruit and subtle sweetness.

What makes craft drinking chocolate different from standard hot chocolate?

Craft drinking chocolate is typically made using real chocolate shavings rather than primarily cocoa powder. This produces a thicker texture, richer mouthfeel and more pronounced chocolate flavour when prepared with milk.

Can this drinking chocolate be enjoyed cold?

Yes. Once dissolved, it can be chilled and served over ice for a rich iced chocolate drink. It also works well blended into milkshakes, frappes and frozen dessert drinks where the chocolate and cherry flavours can shine.
