Behind the scenes of crafting drinking chocolate

Step inside the inventing room and meet Yiotis, one of our chocolatier’s here at Hotel Chocolat. Yiotis is the mastermind behind many of our Velvetiser drinking chocolate recipes where he takes some of his inspiration from trends around the world, flavours from his childhood and customer suggestions and crafts them into delicious high-cacao recipes made from authentic ingredients.

In this video explore how our passion for cacao and our mantra more cacao, less sugar led us to a format where real chocolate was non-negotiable, how cold recipes differ from hot and why each is meticulously crafted to deliver the very best flavour profile. We even take a trip to the factory to see how these recipes are produced for you to enjoy at home.
