Description

Grown in the Mayan tradition of cultivating in harmony with the environment, HERNÁN chocolate is made with organic cocoa from a bio-diversified plantation in Chiapas, Mexico.  We've paired this amazing chocolate with an authentic artisan molinillo (frother) and a rey clay olla de Barro pot--all the supplies you'll need to make authentic Mexican hot chocolate!

This set includes:

1 Olla de Barro Ceramic Pot:
Safe for use over direct flame or electric range, this beautifully hand-crafted red clat pot is ideal for making traditional Mexican hot chocolate, but can also be used to heat teas, soups or cafe de olla.  The side handles and spout make for easy serving.
(approximately 6"W x 5.75"H; holds 4 cups. Instructions included)

1 Molinillo Artesano (hot chocolate frother):
The molinillo is the secret to making your Mexican hot chocolate look authentic---it's all in the froth!  The smooth pestle bottom softens and grinds chocolate as it disolves, while the loose rings whip air into the chocolate, resulting in a frothy top.  Hand carved from solid wood, each molinillo is a work of art!  
(approximately 13" long) 

HERNÁN Mexican Hot Chocolate Tablillas/Squares:
This is not your run of the mill chocolate!  HERNÁN chocolate has an intense cocoa flavor and gritty texture, the result of artisan chocolate making process.  A perfect blend of organic cacao, sugar and cinnamon, these chocolate tablillas, or squares, are melted in water or milk to make frothy chocolate drinks.  
8.4 oz., 240 g; Aprox. 6 servings.  Ingredients: 100% natural: organic cacao, with sugar, cinnamon & soy lechithin)
