Classic 35% Hot Chocolate Bar

Some things really don't need reinventing. Chocolate a la piedra is one of them.

Made by Chocolates Jolonch in Agramunt, Catalonia, this traditional Spanish drinking chocolate has been produced using stone-ground methods for generations. Founded in 1770, Jolonch is one of the oldest chocolate makers in Spain, and its Xocolata a la Pedra is a speciality of the region.

Unlike conventional chocolate, stone-ground chocolate has a distinctive, slightly grainy texture. It's a wonderfully old-fashioned way of making chocolate, and one that gives it plenty of character. Traditionally enjoyed melted into hot milk for a rich Spanish hot chocolate, it's the sort of thing that makes a cold afternoon considerably better.

The 350g bar comes wrapped in beautiful blue and white paper with vintage typography that's barely changed in spirit over the years. A lovely gift for chocolate enthusiasts, anyone who appreciates traditional European food, or someone who takes their hot chocolate seriously.
