Ocelot Blood Orange Organic Dark Drinking Hot Chocolate 200g

Blood Orange Organic Hot Chocolate

Ocelot Blood Orange Organic Dark Drinking Hot Chocolate 200g transforms an everyday hot chocolate into something a little more special. Made with pure shavings of Ocelot's award-winning Blood Orange 70% Dark Chocolate and a touch of raw cane sugar, it creates a rich, velvety drinking chocolate with bright citrus notes and a smooth cocoa finish.

Crafted using rare Amelonado cocoa beans grown by a regenerative farming cooperative in Virunga National Park, Eastern Congo, this organic drinking chocolate combines deep dark chocolate flavours with the fragrant sweetness of blood orange and subtle vanilla. Simply whisk into warm milk to create a luxurious hot chocolate with a thick, indulgent texture. At i4C, we also enjoy using it as a finishing touch for desserts, sprinkling it over cakes, tiramisu and coffee creations. Presented in a beautifully illustrated reusable tin, it makes a thoughtful foodie gift, a welcome addition to a luxury hamper or a treat for anyone who enjoys premium hot chocolate.

What makes drinking chocolate different from hot chocolate powder?

Drinking chocolate is made using real chocolate rather than primarily cocoa powder. This creates a richer texture, fuller flavour and a more luxurious drinking experience with greater depth and complexity.

Why does blood orange pair so well with dark chocolate?

Blood orange brings natural citrus brightness along with subtle berry-like notes that complement the richness of dark chocolate. The combination creates a balanced flavour profile that feels refreshing while still delivering deep cocoa character.

Can drinking chocolate be used in baking and desserts?

Yes. High-quality drinking chocolate can be incorporated into cakes, brownies, mousses and dessert toppings. The real chocolate content adds both flavour and richness, making it a versatile ingredient beyond simply preparing hot drinks.
