Who doesn't LOVE chocolate? Villa Real chocolate from Oaxaca is made with simple ingredients; just cocoa butter, sugar, almond, and other nuts and spices.

The most delicious cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate you will have ever tasted.
Legend has it that cocao was a gift that the god Quetzalcoatl made for men. The rulers and elite warriors of ancient Mesoamerica consumed cocoa in a variety of ways, using it as food, drink, medicine, and even as the official currency. The scientific name of the cacao tree is Theobroma cacao, whose Latin meaning is "food of the gods."
We partner with family-owned business Villa Real to source our Mexican Hot Chocolate. They treat cocoa as a sacred ingredient inherited from their ancestors and turn it into a mixture of flavors and ingredients that will make your palate fill with emotions and memories. It’s the taste of nostalgia.
