Back at Chocolate Box, we will introduce you to the best drinking chocolate we've ever tasted from Seattle's Chocolat Vitale. Inspired by the hot chocolate his Italian grandmother served in his youth, Jim Schneider and his wife Jennifer founded Chocolat Vitale to offer a line of fine European drinking chocolate. Made from Venezuelan cocoa beans (no powder), several sipping chocolate blends and their unique chocolate teas steal the show. Sip and savor as you discover liquid indulgence. |
