Spicy Chilli 60% Hot Chocolate Bar

Chocolate with a bit of heat. Made in Agramunt, Catalonia, by Torrons Jolonch, this traditional Spanish stone-ground chocolate combines 60% cocoa with spicy chilli for a rich, warming combination.

Known as xocolata a la pedra, or chocolate made on stone, it's a Catalan speciality with a history stretching back centuries. The stone-grinding process gives the chocolate its distinctive, slightly grainy texture, quite different from the smooth finish of conventional chocolate. The chilli brings a little warmth to the dark chocolate, making it particularly good for anyone who likes their chocolate with something extra.

Jolonch has been making chocolate in Agramunt since 1770, preserving the traditional methods that made the region famous for its confectionery.

Wrapped in beautiful vintage-style red and cream paper, this generous 300g bar makes a lovely gift for dark chocolate lovers, an interesting addition to a food hamper or something to turn into a particularly good Spanish hot chocolate.
