Real Milk Drinking Hot Chocolate

Real Milk Drinking Hot Chocolate is a drinking chocolate powder from Gabriel Chocolate, made at 50 per cent cocoa mass from cocoa beans from Ghana. The maker describes the flavour as fruity and says it comes from using non-alkalised cocoa. It contains dairy, and the maker says it is gluten free. The maker's shop lists the weight as 200 g.

Cocoa mass is the term for ground cacao bean paste, so 50 per cent means half the powder is cocoa mass. The product page does not list the other ingredients and gives no preparation steps, so check the pack for both. Gabriel is a bean-to-bar maker, which means it starts from whole cacao beans rather than ready-made chocolate.

Gabriel's bars show what the same maker does with other origins. Peru 65% Dark Chocolate is a single-origin bar with a Christmas-cake tasting note, Uganda Milk is a single-origin milk bar, and The Chocolate Maker's Premium Selection is a 12-bar gift pack. The maker also sells hot chocolate sticks and cocoa powder.

Made by Gabriel Chocolate, which calls itself Western Australia's first bean-to-bar chocolate maker. The maker says it hand sorts, roasts and winnows each batch of beans at its own factory and buys cacao from many countries.
