Indian-Inspired Hot Chocolates

This Indulgent Chocolate Drink is Infused with Cardamom

Odile Chocolat is producing a decadent hot chocolate mix that is infused with cardamom. Spicy drinking chocolate has become a popular treat at many cafes and gourmet chocolate shops. However, these spicy beverages are often made from the same blend of chili peppers, cayenne and vanilla.

Odile Chocolat puts an innovative twist on traditional hot chocolate mix by adding unexpected spices. One of the most popular mixes available at Odile Chocolat is the 'Bollywood.' This product features European style chocolate that has been infused with cardamom. The aromatic spice is native to South Asia and offers a unique flavor that is not found in Mexican-inspired drinking chocolates. The addition of cardamom gives the mix a slightly smokey flavor, which perfectly complements the richness of the chocolate.

The Indian-inspired mix gives consumers a new option for enjoying spicy hot chocolate.
