Hot Chocolate Preparation

In the Pistocchi workshop, extraordinary artisan creations have been made for over 30 years, and this is how the Hot Chocolate Preparation was born

Hot Chocolate Preparation

The Pistocchi Family: Claudio and Claudia Pistocchi, brother and sister, have worked together for almost 30 years in their Florentine workshop. They devote themselves with great passion, solely and exclusively, to the production of this unique product in an environment free from gluten contamination. Always attentive to innovation. Continuing the research process since the very first creation. A cornerstone of their philosophy: the craftsmanship of the product, which continues to be handmade, now as then, with constantly growing quality. Here, every day, creations emerge in which chocolate is the star. It is indeed in Florence that the Pistocchi family's pastry art was born, with their chocolate cakes, true specialties, cremini and dragées. The little cakes with three chocolates and fruit. But like all their cakes, they continue to be entirely handmade. Over the years, the quality of the product has, if anything, grown even more. Because today the market offers 87 types of dark chocolate to choose from according to one's needs. The workshop's creations today are not just chocolate, but also a gluten free line of biscuits. The two siblings artisanally craft, every day, true taste experiences using the finest selected ingredients: these Dragées, wonderful sweets with raisins, bitter almond, sea salt and fine milk chocolate, small delights for great pleasures. Products made only with: carefully selected raw materials, from natural vanilla to dark chocolate. We do not use natural flavourings, preservatives or vegetable fats other than cocoa butter. Candied citrus fruits made only with fruit and sugar, an ancient Ethiopian Arabian cocoa, richly fragrant reddish-brown cocoa, the best Italian hazelnuts. The choice of raw materials is a cornerstone for the creation and quality of our products! Over the years, Torta Pistocchi has received numerous international awards, including the famous International Chocolate Awards, the prestigious London International Competition Great Taste Awards and the The WineHunter Awards in Merano. From their workshop, of course, comes the hot chocolate preparation packaged in a box with 5 sachets. So you can enjoy a perfect hot chocolate at home too. Pistocchi's recipe? Bring the milk to the boil, and only then add the hot chocolate preparation. Bring back to the boil for about two or three minutes, stirring constantly. At this point, pour into cups and after a few minutes your hot chocolate is ready.
