Served in an espresso sized cup, Ciocchino is ideal to offer customers as an indulgent snack or for use as a basis for longer drinks such as mocha coffees.  

“Hot chocolates today are usually made with cocoa powder, sugar and milk – sometimes even water – which creates a very sweet drink that actually bears little relation to chocolate,” said Martin Sheridan, managing director, Ferns Coffee.

“Ciocchino is made from high grade, solid dark chocolate and delivers a true, authentic taste, giving customers a premium, luxurious alternative to the selection they will encounter at most establishments.

“Hot chocolate is commonly seen as a treat and nothing could be more indulgent than a decadent hit of rich chocolate that will leave a lasting impression on customers and create a real point of difference.”
