## Description

GHIRARDELLI HERITAGE, SINCE 1852 In 1849, during the California Gold Rush, Italian-born Domingo Ghirardelli moved to America and opened a store in a mining camp. After discovering the miners were starved for luxuries and needed something to spend their gold dust on, he started stocking chocolate delicacies. In 1852, the enterprising immigrant founded a confectionery shop in San Francisco, which eventually became the modern-day Ghirardelli Chocolate Company. Today, Ghirardelli is America’s oldest continuously operating chocolate maker. Ghirardelli products are sold in grocery stores, foodservice and e-commerce and Ghirardelli also has its own chocolate and ice cream shops across the country. Ghirardelli continues to build on its rich tradition of quality products and innovation, from premium sauces, Hot Fudge, Sweet Ground Chocolate Powders and Vanilla Flavored Powder Base.

Review: An essential product with multiple uses if you like chocolate -- this is the best! - I have been using this product since I discovered it in San Francisco grocery stores in the mid-1970s. The old Ghirardelli factory and warehouses are now Ghirardelli Square, a mall with shops and restaurants in the Marina district. You cannot find this product in stores in the Midwest, Northeast, or South, but you can get it delivered from desertcart! This product is a blend of ground chocolate and cocoa powder with added sugar and vanilla flavoring. It makes the best hot chocolate imaginable; just stir in spoonfuls to taste into hot milk, no need for any other ingredients. It is also a great substitute for baking cocoa powder or baking chocolate; you just have to adjust the sugar in the recipe since this product has some sugar in it and add some butter or oil when substituting for baking chocolate squares. The can tells you how to substitute it. It makes the best brownies I have ever eaten, and I use it to make chocolate cakes, chocolate frosting, chocolate fudge, and mocha coffee. Not cheap, but worth the price for its versatility and superior flavor.
Review: Perfect Hot Chocolate Mix - This has been the best [premade] hot chocolate powder I have used. When added to hot milk, it's silky and not overly sweet; it's what you want when it's cold or just because. The container seals well, despite my humid location, no issues. The container has been lasting me about a month with almost daily use and using a large mug; great value. I will be buying it again. I have used the mix to make chocolate pudding and it was perfect, I didn't have to add more sugar to my recipe. The added scoop was nice making it an easy measure, plus for baking later, it's good quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where does Ghirardelli source it’s cocoa from?**
A: Ghiradelli is owned by Lindt, which gets their cocoa from West Africa, Ghana specifically. Africa is the area of concern for labor issues related to cocoa production (child labor, slavery, etc) but not all African cocoa comes from slave or child labor. Ghiradelli never directly addresses the issue on their sustainability web page and they don't advertise their free trade or fair trade practices so I imagine some digging would reveal that kind of labor on at least some of their farms. If you want to be sure, buy chocolate sourced from South American cocoa beans or from companies with fair trade labels.

**Q: Is this so dark it’s actually black or just an intense brown? How sweet is it?**
A: It is dark brown, darker than milk chocolate but certainly not black or even intense brown. It has 26g of added sugar. It doesn't taste sugary but but more sweet and richer than good dark chocolate. I prefer to make it even richer with unsweetened vanilla almond milk which gives a bit of a nutty flavor and then I add a heaping tsp of Andies Candies mint baking chips which adds even more sugar but the combination is amazing.

**Q: Is this a hot chocolate mix or do you have to add sugar?**
A: It has sugar in it (26g per 3 Tbsp serving).  I would consider it a Hot Chocolate mix.  I actually use it to make my daily Mocha and find the taste great!

**Q: What is the percentage of Cacao in this product as it doesn't show in the ingredients?**
A: It doesn’t say percentage amount, it is the 2nd ingredient listed. Contains 32% sugar, but my husband enjoys it.
